The RPM range dates back to the early 2000s when the first models were introduced. Designed with both form and function in mind, the range was initially created to provide a high-performance turntable option for vinyl enthusiasts who demanded both superior sound quality and an eye-catching, innovative design. Since then, the RPM range has only continued to improve and evolve, with each new model featuring new and improved technologies, from carbon fibre tonearms to sandwhich platter construction, but always featuring the iconic isolated motor principle. Today, the RPM range from Pro-Ject continues to be a go-to choice for vinyl enthusiasts who want a fantastic audio performance with a unique and bold design.
RPM models feature beautiful carbon fibre tonearms that provide several benefits over traditional tonearm materials like aluminium or steel. First, carbon fibre is a lightweight and rigid material that allows for more precise tracking of the record groove. This results in improved sound quality and better overall performance. Carbon fibre is also a low-resonance material, meaning that it does not vibrate as much as other materials. This helps to reduce unwanted noise and distortion in the audio signal, resulting in even better sound quality. Finally, carbon fibre is a durable material that is resistant to warping, ensuring that your turntable will last for years to come.
The iconic RPM decoupled motor provides several benefits over traditional turntables. The decoupled design helps to isolate the motor from the turntable, reducing vibrations and noise that can affect audio quality. By separating the motor from the turntable, the RPM series of turntables can produce a more accurate and stable playback experience without risk of vibration transference to the tonearm and cartridge, resulting in a cleaner sound quality. The spacing fo the motor and the platter also enables impressive speed stability, placing the motor at the optimal distance from the chassis, along with the electronic speed control and precision-engineered bearing, help to ensure that your records are played back at the correct speed, giving you supreme audio quality and clarity.
