The result of this new design is a tonearm that is more solid and anti-resonant than ever before at this price, while maintaining a light weight for improved cartridge tracking. The RPM 3 Carbon tonearm is supplied with a pre-fitted Ortofon 2M Silver cartridge and a new magnetic anti-skate mechanism. The supplied counterweight also utilises TPE damping in the form of an anti-resonant ring around the fixing point. This 10\" S-Shape tonearm was designed specifically for the RPM 3 Carbon, and its ability is far above the turntable's attractive price tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe completely decoupled motor is based upon the same design as the 1 Xpression Carbon, running off an AC generator that's powered by an external DC power supply. As with the RPM 1 Carbon, the motor drives a thick, high-gloss MDF platter - except with the RPM 3 Carbon, the platter is topped with a layer of melted vinyl, providing a perfect playback platform without the need for an additional mat. The platter's inverted main bearing utilises a ceramic ball, mounted onto a high-mass base plate, which enables a fluid and consistent platter rotation with minimal rumble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in Red, White or Black high gloss finishes, the RPM 3 Carbon is a turntable package that offers truly phenomenal value for money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision belt drive turntable with decoupled synchronous motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCB-controlled motor with highly precise speed stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVinyl-topped MDF sandwich platter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInverted platter bearing with ceramic ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-mass base plate beneath main bearing controls resonances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10” S-Shape carbon fibre\/aluminium tonearm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic anti-skate system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCounterweight with TPE damping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-fitted Ortofon 2M Silver cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree high-gloss finished available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust cover available as optional extra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eReviews\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-panel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-3\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.henleyaudio.co.uk\/_Assets\/_managed\/shop\/review\/images\/Hi-Fi-Pig-Recommended.png\" alt=\"Pro-Ject RPM 3 Carbon, Hi-Fi Pig, November 2015\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-9\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHi-Fi Pig, November 2015\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-striped table-bordered table-responsive;\" border=\"0.5px\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviewed By:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIan Ringstead\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.6\/10s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSound Quality:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.6\/10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValue For Money:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.6\/10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Score:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.6\/10, Recommended\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eComments of Note:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\"Sound-wise the RPM3 ticks all the right boxes for me.
