"Benefiting from trickle-down technology developed for its costlier RPM-series turntables, this new deck features a host of engineering innovations to boost its sound."
The RPM 3 Carbon’s 10-inch tonearm is crafted using a sophisticated combination of carbon fibre, aluminium, and resin, processed under heat and high pressure. This advanced construction maximises rigidity while minimising unwanted vibrations, ensuring optimal signal clarity. Its S-shaped design is ideal for compatibility with a wide range of cartridges, including MC options. Integrated features like magnetic anti-skating and a TPE-damped counterweight further enhance tracking accuracy for an exceptional listening experience.
Speed stability is a cornerstone of the RPM 3 Carbon’s design, thanks to its outboard 15V AC motor driven by an ultra-precise DC-powered AC generator. This system ensures consistent rotation, reducing speed fluctuations that can distort audio playback. By isolating the motor from the turntable chassis, vibrations are minimised, allowing the stylus to track grooves with greater accuracy. The result is a smooth and immersive audio experience, perfect for enjoying the intricate details of your record collection.
At the heart of the RPM 3 Carbon is its low-resonance MDF platter, topped with a vinyl mat to ensure smooth, stable playback. The inverted ceramic ball-bearing system reduces rumble and mechanical noise, letting the music take centre stage. This is paired with a robust, low-resonance chassis that optimises vibrational behaviour for improved sound quality. Together, these features allow the turntable to deliver consistent and faithful reproduction of your favourite records, preserving their character and warmth.
