The RPM 3 Carbon offers evolutionary advancements to the RPM concept: a low-resonance chassis accommodates an inverted platter bearing, with its ceramic ball ensuring reduced rumble. The free-standing motor unit, featuring a 15V synchronous motor, is powered by a precision generator with a DC power supply. This ultra-pure power supply for the motor guarantees outstanding smoothness and is a rarity in this price range.
The redesigned S-shaped 10" tonearm uses a material mix of carbon fibers, aluminum, and resin for the tonearm tube. Through a highly complex 3-step process, superior rigidity, highest internal damping, and low resonance are achieved by heat treatments under 100 bar high pressure, which is why this tonearm is also suitable for MC cartridges. Magnetic anti-skating and a TPE-damped counterweight are among the other highlights that make the RPM 3 Carbon a stylish sound marvel!
