PRO-JECT RPM 10 CARBON

Pro-Ject RPM 10 Carbon – High-End Belt Drive Turntable with 10cc Evolution Tonearm

The Pro-Ject RPM 10 Carbon is a reference-class belt drive turntable designed for demanding audiophiles seeking the highest level of analog playback performance. Combining advanced engineering, premium materials and the iconic design of the RPM series, this high-end turntable delivers exceptional precision, stability and musicality.

The ultra-rigid chassis features a sophisticated sandwich construction made from CNC-machined MDF filled with metal granulate and finished with a carbon fiber surface. This structure effectively minimizes unwanted resonances while providing excellent mechanical stability. The turntable is supported by the Ground it Carbon base with magnetic isolation feet, ensuring superior decoupling from external vibrations.

The heavy aluminum platter provides outstanding rotational inertia and stability, while the inverted main bearing with a hardened steel shaft and ceramic ball minimizes friction and vibration, ensuring extremely smooth and precise rotation.

The turntable is equipped with the renowned Pro-Ject 10cc Evolution carbon fiber tonearm, constructed as a single piece to achieve maximum rigidity and minimal resonance. This high-precision tonearm ensures accurate tracking and allows the use of high-end MM and MC cartridges.

A decoupled external motor with electronic speed control enables convenient switching between 33 and 45 RPM, maintaining excellent speed stability. Thanks to its advanced mechanical architecture and premium components, the Pro-Ject RPM 10 Carbon represents a true benchmark in high-end vinyl playback.
