"Striking design and structural upgrades." - TTL

🔎LAB REVIEW

The visually striking Pro-Ject's RPM 3 Carbon Turntable is an upgrade of the revolutionary RPM 1. With structural upgrades (longer tonearm + wider plinth) and an upgraded platter (a heftier MDF platter with integrated vinyl layer), the RPM 3 provides sound quality for the discerning listener.

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 3 comes pre-mounted with Sumiko's Moonstone Cartridge.

RPM 3 vs RPM 1

  • RPM 3 features a longer 10" tonearm with wider plinth / body
  • RPM 3 features an upgraded MDF platter with integrated vinyl layer
  • RPM 3 upgrades results in higher performance (improved stats in Wow & Flutter, Speed Drift, Tracking)
  • RPM 3 is a heftier turntable (5.5kg vs. 3.8kg)
