PRO-JECT RPM 10 CARBON CADENZA RED

Pro-Ject RPM 10 Carbon Cadenza Red – High-End Belt Drive Turntable

The Pro-Ject RPM 10 Carbon Cadenza Red is a reference-class belt-drive turntable designed for demanding audiophiles who want to extract the maximum performance from their vinyl collection. Featuring a massive resonance-optimized chassis, an advanced 10” carbon fiber tonearm, and the high-end Ortofon Cadenza Red MC cartridge, this turntable delivers exceptional precision, stability, and musical detail.

Part of the renowned RPM series from Pro-Ject, the RPM 10 Carbon combines sophisticated engineering with premium materials such as carbon fiber, heavy aluminium, and steel-loaded MDF. The result is an extremely rigid, low-resonance structure capable of reproducing vinyl records with remarkable clarity and dynamic range. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

High-mass construction for superior vibration control

The RPM 10 Carbon features an advanced sandwich chassis made from MDF filled with steel pellets and reinforced with a carbon fiber surface layer. This high-mass structure dramatically reduces unwanted resonance and ensures a stable playback platform. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

The turntable is supplied with the heavy Ground it Carbon base, which further isolates the system from external vibrations. Magnetic feet provide mechanical decoupling, allowing the turntable to effectively “float” and remain isolated from environmental disturbances.

Precision belt-drive system with electronic speed control

The belt-drive motor system is housed in a separate heavy motor unit to minimize vibrations reaching the platter. An integrated Speed Box electronic control allows precise switching between 33 and 45 rpm for optimal speed accuracy and convenience. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

The massive 10.4 kg aluminium platter features internal TPE damping and a vinyl mat surface, ensuring excellent rotational stability and reducing resonance for ultra-quiet playback. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
