About the Product
RPM-1 Carbon utilises a lot of innovations and enhancements: A low resonance chassis holds a newly designed inverted platter bearing with ceramic ball for further reduced rumble.
The new DEBUT Carbon DC was designed to set new standards in this category for the coming decade – perfectly timed as analogue today is again a respected source, while the demand for good turntables is growing again! The most obvious improvement is the inclusion of a CARBON TUBE for the tonearm, which increases stiffness and decreases unwanted resonance.

What customers say about "Key Specs"
Pro-Ject RPM 1 Carbon Turntable
  • Loving it. Glad I went for the RPM1 - the isolation of the motor makes a big difference imho.
  • The Motor is stand alone (and powered by a low voltage three pin adapter) and doesn't touch the turntable body, the weight of the motor keeps it in place.
  • This is a very good thing. It even looks pretty cool. Excellent sound for the price. It also looks like it's built to last.
  • Lovely design and fairly easy to set up even for a novice like me. Lovely sound.
  • Very good quality and nice design. The outer motor is completely silent, the speed is perfect and it's easy to change from 33 to 45.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Pro-Ject RPM 1 Carbon Turntable
  • The platter is of heavy solid construction in some type of plastic and is very heavy.
  • Absolutely amazing mid range turntable. The turntable itself looks amazing.
  • Fairly compact, so does not need a huge amount of room. Finish quality is fantastic
  • Incredible quiet turn table. The turntable mass is high enough to prevent speaker feedback.
  • The build quality of this table is also very good with high quality materials

What customers say about "Audio"
Pro-Ject RPM 1 Carbon Turntable
  • No hum no distortion, everything sounds great, crisp and clean
  • I was amazed by the overall quality build and sound.
  • Looks fantastic, and sound quality spot on via Cambridge amp.
  • I’m using a rega fono mk2 preamp, and have to say, not one person who has sat with me to listen to it has failed to be astounded by it.
  • It stages old vinyl like Ultravox - Vienna, so so well, far beyond it’s price point.

What customers say about "Features"
Pro-Ject RPM 1 Carbon Turntable
  • The Tone arm and gimbal are highly engineered, esp. the gimbal, which has an anti-skate adjustment combined with a tracking force weight so that you can set the stylus forces correctly.
  • The Ortofon 2M RED pickup reproduces my vinyl beautifully with clarity and confidence, with great reproduction of all frequencies.
  • The Ortofon red cartridge sounds rich and clear.
  • Easy to set up and once combined with a Pro-ject pre-amp, a really solid sound through our micro system.
  • My RPM 1 is connected to my 2016 Arcam Solo Movie 5.1 via a ProJect Phono Box S and Chord C-Line RCA interconnects. Can't recommend enough.
