Pro-Ject RPM 1 Carbon turntable<\/strong> is a manual belt-drive model designed for playing vinyl records as part of a stereo system. It supports 33 and 45 rpm speeds. A separate synchronous motor, ceramic bearing ball and hybrid tonearm address the key challenges involved in controlling mechanical vibration.<\/p>\n

Drive system and platter construction<\/h2>\n

The precision belt drive<\/strong> uses a separate synchronous AC motor. It is controlled by an ultra-precise, DC-powered AC generator. This control arrangement is designed to maintain more consistent platter rotation.<\/p>\n

The low-resonance chassis incorporates an inverted platter bearing<\/strong> with a ceramic ball. This bearing construction is intended to reduce mechanical noise. The MDF platter is supplied with a felt mat on which the vinyl record is placed.<\/p>\n

Tonearm and cartridge selection<\/h2>\n

The 8.6-inch S-shaped tonearm<\/strong> tube is made from carbon fibre, aluminium and resin. It is formed in a three-stage process involving heat treatment and pressure of 100 bar. This process increases rigidity, improves internal damping and reduces resonance.<\/p>\n

With an effective mass of 13.5 g, the tonearm is also suitable for moving-coil (MC) phono cartridges<\/strong>. When choosing a cartridge, it is important to consider whether its characteristics are compatible with the tonearm mass. You will also need a phono preamplifier suited to the cartridge type, or an amplifier with the appropriate phono input.<\/p>\n

Adjustment and placement<\/h2>\n

The magnetic anti-skating mechanism<\/strong> helps compensate for the lateral force acting on the tonearm as the record rotates. A TPE-damped counterweight is used to set the cartridge tracking force. The initial tracking force must be selected according to the requirements of the cartridge being used.<\/p>\n

Place the turntable on a firm, level surface that is isolated from loudspeaker vibration as effectively as possible. Levelling the chassis is important for correct bearing and tonearm operation. Leave sufficient room around the separate motor so that it cannot be moved accidentally.<\/p>\n

Three gloss finishes are available: red, white and piano black. With a weight of 3.8 kg, the turntable can be placed on most sturdy pieces of audio furniture. The supplied information does not specify whether a cartridge, dust cover or phono preamplifier is included.<\/p>\n

FAQ<\/h2>\n

Who is this turntable for?<\/h3>\n

It is designed for playing 33 and 45 rpm vinyl records through a stereo system. Its manual operation suits listeners who want to control record playback themselves.<\/p>\n

Can I use a moving-coil cartridge?<\/h3>\n

Yes. The tonearm construction is suitable for moving-coil cartridges. The cartridge should be matched to the tonearm’s 13.5 g effective mass and to the specifications of the phono preamplifier.<\/p>\n

How do I connect the turntable to an amplifier?<\/h3>\n

Use an amplifier phono input that is suitable for the cartridge type. If the amplifier has no suitable phono input, an appropriate phono preamplifier is required between the turntable and a line-level input.<\/p>\n

How should I set up the tonearm before listening?<\/h3>\n

Set up the tonearm according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Select the tracking force recommended by the manufacturer of the installed cartridge, and adjust the anti-skating mechanism in the sequence specified in the instructions.<\/p>\n

Where should I place the turntable?<\/h3>\n

Choose a level, stable surface that is isolated from loudspeaker vibration. Leave room for the external motor and ensure that its position cannot be changed accidentally.<\/p>\n

What is the difference between the power supply and the motor?<\/h3>\n

The external power supply delivers 15 V DC to the generator. The generator controls the synchronous AC motor, so these voltages should not be treated as the same thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
