Pro-Ject RPM 5 Carbon Turntable with Ortofon 2M Bronze Cartridge

Outboard AC Motor & Acrylic Platter

RPM 5 Carbon utilises a radical concept with a lot of innovations, that originate from its big brother RPM 9 Carbon: A low resonance chassis holds a newly designed inverted platter bearing with ceramic ball for further reduced rumble, while the acoustically inert platter is made from acrylic.

An outboard 15V AC motor is smoothly driven using an ultra-precision AC generator with DC power supply for further enhanced speed stability.

The 9“ Evo tonearm, which is made from carbon fibre is suitable for any high-quality MM or MC cartridge. A TPE-damped counterweight eliminates unwanted resonances.

A super shielded, semi-symmetrical, low-capacitance ProJect Connect it E phono cable is included.
