About the RPM 5.1
The Pro-Ject RPM 5.1 turntable is designed for audiophiles seeking precise and low-resonance vinyl playback. It features a 9" carbon fiber tonearm with precision Swiss bearings and a rigid carbon fiber arm tube to ensure superior tracking and cartridge control. The resonance-optimized 12" MDF platter includes an integrated vinyl mat and rests on a stainless steel axle running on a Teflon bearing plate in a bronze housing, minimizing wow and flutter and enhancing speed accuracy. The turntable is driven by a quiet AC motor with a two-step pulley and a flat-ground belt, supporting 33-1/3 and 45 rpm speeds, with an optional electronic speed changer available. The plinth is made of MDF with a suspended motor assembly optimized for low resonance and speed stability, standing on three height-adjustable aluminum cone feet to reduce noise and vibration. The RPM 5.1 includes a fitted Sumiko Blue Point No. 2 MC cartridge (output voltage 2.5mV) and offers a signal-to-noise ratio of -70 dB. Power consumption is 2W with an outboard 15V/550 mA AC power supply. Dimensions are approximately 15.8" wide x 5.6" tall x 11.9" deep, weighing about 14.33 lbs (6.5 kg). The turntable is noted for its minimalist design, high build quality, and excellent vibration isolation, making it suitable for serious vinyl enthusiasts.
