Pro-ject RPM 10 Carbon Turntable

Striking design that delivers true high-end sound quality, the RPM 10 Carbon oozes high-end style and delivers a sound performance that puts its rivals to shame.

• RPM body shape removes all "unnecessary" material for a more accurate sonic presentation
• Fully decoupled motor stands in its own heavy base for reduced resonance transfer
• Premium MDF plinth packed with metal granulate for added mass and reduced resonance
• Sizeable alloy platter featuring magnetic decoupling and vinyl top-plate
• Extended 10" tonearm length reduces inner-groove distortion
• Carbon-fibre finishing throughout for an ultra-sleek, modern aesthetic

Though the minimalist plinth design looks visually impressive, through extensive testing it's also proved to show optimal resonance characteristics compared to many traditional chassis designs. To further improve its performance, the plinth also employs "high mass" principles with resin-coated steel pellets packed inside the CNC-machined MDF structure. The whole plinth is then subjected to a complex heat treatment and carbon fibre surface coating to ensure minimal resonance travels through the turntable. The plinth is finished with magnetic coned feet.

The RPM 10 Carbon's platter has a polished aluminium exterior and is internally lined with Thermo-Plastic Elastomer (TPE) damping material and topped with vinyl. The whole platter sits on top of a stainless steel spindle with inverted ceramic main bearing to deliver an absolutely stable turntable rotation with extra-low rumble.

The RPM 10 Carbon's perimeter drive belt mechanism is driven by a completely decoupled heavyweight motor. The motor sits on top of a custom-designed steel base for improved stability. Electronic speed-change between 33 and 45rpm is built into the motor, which also employs its own AC power generator PCB, for a clean mains supply and reduced speed variance.

The highly-acclaimed 10CC Evolution Tonearm is pre-installed on the RPM 10 Carbon. This coveted design is found on many other high-end record players, and boasts a conical carbon fibre tube and inverted bearing design that offers superior rigidity with reduced mass. The high-quality internal wiring and selection of TPE-damped counterweights also makes the tonearm suitable for use with almost any high-end pick-up cartridge. For improved signal transmission, the tonearm is supplied with a 5-Pin to RCA Connect-IT CC cable.

The RPM 10 Carbon comes complete with the Ground-IT Carbon base and a heavy record pluck, making it a complete high-end package.

Upgrade Your Tonearm

The tonearm is one of the most important parts of a turntable and therefore not only influences, but also shapes the sound in a specific way.

The all-new EVO and EVO premium tonearm ranges are the result of Pro-Ject's work from the last years, and they are proud to also offer new finishes and many additional improvements.
