Includes Sumiko Ranier MM cartridge! A radical concept that does not compromise sound quality at an entry-level price. The RPM-1 Carbon utilizes a lot of innovations and enhancements: A low resonance chassis holds a newly designed inverted platter bearing with ceramic ball for further reduced rumble. An outboard 15V AC motor is smoothly driven using an ultra-precision AC generator with DC power supply for further enhanced speed stability. A completely new designed S-shaped tonearm tube is made from carbon fiber, aluminum and resin. Using a complex 3-step process with heat treatment and 100bar pressure, arm tube rigidity is strengthened, internal damping is maximized and resonances are reduced to a minimum. This makes the tonearm also suitable for MC cartridges. Additional features are a new magnetic antiskating mechanism and a TPE-damped counterweight. All ingredients add up to a miracle in sound for the price and ultra-stylish look! Available in Piano Black, Bright Red, or Bright White. (Please note: Not compatible with Speed Box S or Speed Box DS. An optional dust cover is available for the RPM 1 Carbon. Please use Cover It RPM 1/3 Carbon)
