About the RPM 1 Carbon
The RPM 1 Carbon incorporates several innovations, including a newly designed inverted platter bearing with a ceramic ball to reduce rumble. It uses an outboard 15V AC motor driven by an ultra-precision AC generator with a DC power supply for enhanced speed stability. The S-shaped tonearm is made from carbon fiber, aluminum, and resin, with a complex manufacturing process to maximize rigidity and minimize resonances. Additional features include a magnetic anti-skating mechanism and a TPE-damped counterweight. It comes with a Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge and is available in three high-gloss finishes: Black, Red, and White.
