Pro-Ject RPM 10 Carbon Cadenza Red
The flagship turntable of the Pro-Ject RPM series with a 10" Evo sound arm and an Orfoto Cadenza Red sound box.
Clever design with true high-end sound quality
The RPM 10 Carbon uses a new extra heavy chassis which features a special CNC machined MDF plate that incorporates hard resin coated steel pellets to form an extra heavy precise sandwich construction. A special complex heat treatment and a carbon surface coating ensure superior low resonance levels. The mass-loaded chassis is effectively decoupled from its surface via the included Ground it Carbon and its magnetic feet. With two magnets located in the feet, the turntable is practically floating. The studs in the feet are only used for keeping them centered. Due to this unique feature, the turntable is perfectly decoupled from the surface it is placed on.
Combined with a new special polished Aluminum platter with internal TPE damping and a vinyl layer on top, the inverted ceramic main bearing delivers an Absolute stable turntable speed with extra low rumble. The extra heavy outboard motor unit is equipped with a precise motor control and features a built-in switch between 33 & 45 rpm. Last but not least the non-compromise 10“ Evo tonearm with conical carbon-fibre armtube and inverted bearing design ensures perfect tracking, even with demanding cartridges. Highly flexible top-grade copper internal wiring. Delivered with topgrade 5P phono cable „Connect it CC“ with RCA plugs (XLR as an option).
Motor
The new RPM heavy weight motor integrates an electronic DC/AC power generator to clean up generated noise usually associated with AC power. To further enhance the RPM 10 Carbon the extra heavy outboard motor also consists of a precise motor control allowing for easy switching between 33 and 45 RPM
Tone arm
The highly acclaimed 10”cc Evolution tonearm is made from a one piece conical tube of carbon fiber with an inverted bearing design which offers Ultimate rigidity and internal damping to minimize all unwanted vibrations. The 10”cc Evolution tonearm's design makes it suitable for almost any high quality MM and MC cartridges.
The RPM 10 Carbon comes with the Ground-IT Carbon base and a top grade 5P Connect-IT Phono CC cable with RCA plugs (An XLR option is also available to special order).
