The Pro-Ject RPM-9SE Carbon is a high-end turntable designed for audiophiles seeking superior sound quality and precision. It features a precision belt drive with a synchronous motor and an advanced sandwich construction plinth made from MDF, carbon fibre, and steel pellets, treated thermally for resonance reduction. The mass-loaded subchassis is decoupled from the surface using magnetic feet, enhancing isolation. The 7.2 kg aluminium platter is acoustically inert with TPE damping and a vinyl mat on top, supported by an inverted main bearing with a ceramic ball and plate for stable rotation. The outboard motor unit includes precise motor control with an electronic speed switch for 33 and 45 RPM. The pre-mounted 9" Evo tonearm has a conical carbon-fiber armtube and inverted bearing design for perfect tracking, even with demanding cartridges. It comes with a 5P Connect it Phono CC cable with RCA plugs and an external 15V DC power supply. The turntable weighs approximately 16.5 kg and measures 440 x 180 x 325 mm (WxHxD).
