    • TPE-damped counterweight further reduces unwanted tonearm resonance
    • inverted platter bearing with ceramic ball for reduced rumble
    • outboard 15V AC motor, smoothly driven using an ultra-precise AC generator w/ DC power supply
    • pre-mounted with Sumiko Amethyst MM Cartridge ($649 when purchased separately)
    • low-resonance, carbon-wrapped MDF chassis
    • switchable 33 / 45 rpm, adjustable with easy-to-access belt adjustment
    • handmade in Europe

    "RPM 5 Carbon implements the principles of its big brother, RPM 9 Carbon. The low-resonance, carbon-wrapped MDF chassis carries an inverted platter bearing with ceramic ball for ultra-low rumble. The acoustically inert platter is made from satinized acrylic. The outboard 15V AC motor is smoothly driven using an ultra-precise AC generator with DC power supply for further speed stability. The premium 9cc Evolution armtube & headshell are made from a single piece of carbon fiber and is suitable for an array of MM and MC cartridges. A TPE-damped counterweight further reduces unwanted resonance in the tonearm section. All told, RPM 5 Carbon represents a multi-faceted approach to getting your records to sound their very best… and at a stunning price when considering its implementations." - Pro-Ject
