PRO-JECT Audio RPM 9 Carbon

Due to extensive research and development, we now lift our classic RPM design to an even higher level. The RPM 9 Carbon uses a new extra heavy chassis which features a special CNC machined MDF plate that incorporates hard resin coated steel pellets to form an extra heavy precise sandwich construction. A special complex heat treatment and a carbon surface coating ensures superior low resonance levels. The mass-loaded chassis is effectively decoupled from its surface using magnetic feet. Combined with a new special polished aluminium platter with internal TPE damping and a vinyl layer on top, the inverted ceramic main bearing delivers an absolute stable turntable speed with extra low rumble. The extra heavy outboard motor unit is equipped with a precise motor control and features a built-in switch between 33 & 45 rpm. Last but not least the non-compromise 9“ Evo tonearm with conical carbon-fibre armtube and inverted bearing design ensures perfect tracking, even with demanding cartridges. Highly flexible top-grade copper internal wiring. Delivered with topgrade 5P phono cable „Connect it CC“ with RCA plugs (XLR as an option).  dvanced sandwich construction of plinth with combina-tion of MDF, carbon fibre and steel pellets   • Plinth manufactured with thermo treatment   • Mass loaded subchassis design with magnetic feet   • Inverted main bearing with ceramic ball/plate   • 7,2kg acoustically inert aluminium platter with TPE damping and vinyl mat on the top   • DC power supply with AC motor   • Precise DC driven AC generator (Speed Box) built-in   • Electronic speed control with 33/45 rpm switching   • Outboard motor construction with massive steel base   • Pre-mounted 9“ tonearm 9 cc Evolution   • 5P Connect it Phono CC cable with RCA plugs (XLR available as an option)   RPM 9 Carbon: Beautiful and clever design with true high-end sound quality  Technical data Pro-Ject RPM 9 Carbon Speed 33, 45 (electronic speed change) Drive principle belt drive Platter 7,2kg aluminium (300mm diameter) Mains bearing inverted stainless steel with ceramic ball/plate Wow & flutter 33: +/- 0,10% 45: +/- 0,10% Speed drift 33: +/- 0,10% 45: +/- 0,10% Signal to noise - 75dB Effective arm length 230 mm Effective arm mass 8,0 g Overhang 18mm Tracking force 10 - 35mN Supplied counterweights 5 - 7,5gr / 7 - 10gr / 9 - 11gr / 10 - 14gr External power supply 15 volts DC / 800mA Power connection 110/120 or 230/240 Volt - 50 or 60 Hz power consumption 13 watt max / < 0,3 watt standby Dimensions 440 x 180 x 325mm (WxHxD) Weight 16,7 kg net  www.soundimage.gr
