Lab Overview

📌LAB POINTS

  • entry-level audiophile turntable, newly re-engineered to deliver quality sound
  • S-shaped tonearm made from carbon fiber, aluminum and resin for both rigidity and internal dampening
  • low resonance chassis holds a newly designed inverted platter bearing with ceramic ball for reduced rumble
  • decoupled AC motor with stable DC power supply
  • pre-mounted with Sumiko Rainier Cartridge ($149 when purchased separately)
  • switchable 33 / 45 rpm, adjustable with easy-to-access belt adjustment

"A radical concept that does not compromise sound quality at an entry-level price."

LAB REVIEW

The visually striking Pro-Ject's RPM 1 Carbon Turntable gets a complete re-design from its RM 1.3 predecessor. Pro-Ject has engineered this turntable to deliver stable, quiet, low-vibration performance resulting in a cleaner sound output. They have achieved this through their signature design features including a decoupled motor (separate from main body to reduce vibrations) that runs on stable DC power and a newly designed carbon tonearm and platter bearing. Lastly, the RPM 1 comes pre-mounted with Sumiko's quality Rainier Cartridge (on its own, retails for $149).
