Austrian manufacturer Pro-Ject's RPM range has been met with great success in recent years. It owes it, amongst other things, to the RPM 1 Carbon model and more ambitious RPM 9.2 Evo AND RPM 10.1 Evo. To bridge the gap in its product line, Pro-Ject has developed an intermediate model with appealing features!
It has a an impressive varnished MDF plinth. It rests on three cones that make for great stability.
The platter is also made of varnished MDF in the same colour as the plinth. It uses a vinyl mat on the surface acting as a platter mat! This solution is a great alternative to the traditional felt mat.
It features the inverted brass bearing that rests on a ceramic ball bearing. It enables good rotation while minimising friction. A concrete/resin weight has been added underneath the spindle to lower the centre of gravity.
The most unexpected feature in this turntable is the tonearm, fully exclusive for the range!
Its length is impressive and it is completely exclusive in terms of technology and profile! Its carbon-coated aluminium S-shaped tube is 10 inches long (254 mm)! Pro-Ject uses a complex 3-step process, combined with thermal treatment and a pressure of 100 bars! It produces a robust tube and outstanding internal damping properties to minimise any resonance.
It offers all the adjustments of a high-end tonearm (azimuth, VTA, etc.).
The tracking force is applied via a TPE counterweight with elastomer damping.
The anti-skating weight is applied magnetically to the tonearm spindle.
As standard, the RPM3 turntable comes without cartridge. We recommend to associate this turntable with an Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge.
The tonearm leads are not captive and can thus be replaced with a higher end model such as the manufacturer's CONNECT IT CC.
Note that Pro-Ject has developed a tailored dust cover to protect the RPM 3 from dust.
Like on all RPM models, the motor is physically separated from the turntable. It sits in an anti-vibration housing.
It has an AC synchronous design and is now powered by a DC current via an outboard 15V power supply. An alternating current generator delivers a perfectly stable alternating current!
This tonearm definitely lives up to our expectations! It has the required dynamics and subtlety!
The transparency is also amazing and, as expected, the tonearm length minimises distortion.
The notes have a lot of substance and robustness. The soundstage is wide and precise. The stereo is amazing and the panoramic effects on electro music are stunning. But this quality also applies to orchestral pieces with excellent placement for each section.
As always with Pro-Ject, the sonic performance is on par with the resources! It often even surpasses them and, above all, the value for money is unbeatable!
Overall operation is very simple and we like its stripped and audiophile design! Due to its 10 inch tonearm, it has quite atypical dimensions!
The RPM3 turntable is the cheapest worldwide with a 10" tonearm! This is a true success for the Austrian manufacturer! Flawless!
A new benchmark!

Énorme potentiel
Acheter en 2018 et améliorer au fil du temps avec des options que Pro-ject propose comme le plateau Acryl-It et le support Pro-ject Ground It Delux 2 celà m'a permis et sans honte de lui monté une excellente cellules mc Quinted Black S qui avec son bras de 10 pouces en exploite toutes ses qualités. Franchement c'est une excellente platine qui en a sous le pied et qui est de surcroît très jolie.
Beau et efficace!
Après avoir écouté de la musique durant 3 ans sur une platine automatique, me voilà dans la cours des grands! J'étais un un peu craintif sur le fait d'entendre ou pas une différence, surtout que les éléments associés (pré-amp et ampli) ne sont pas d'un haut niveau... Mais ô bonheur, je redécouvre tous mes disques ! La définition est splendide, la dynamique excellente, rien à redire! Et en plus, elle apporte une belle touche design dans le salon! Prochaine étape, le pré-amp! Merci beaucoup à Franck et toute l'équipe de maPlatine pour leur sérieux, leur gentillesse et leur rapidité..
EXCELLENT !
Pour mon retour au vinyle, l'équipe de maplatine.com a su parfaitement me conseiller. La RPM3 est magnifique (je l'ai choisie blanche) avec sa ligne très contemporaine. Parfaitement réglée, elle est très simple à installer. Dès la première écoute, on est capté par la qualité sonore : précision, justesse, dynamisme, chaleur des graves, présence des voix. Bref, ce n'est que du plaisir ! Un grand merci à Franck et Olivier pour leur disponibilité et leurs précieux conseils avant et après la commande.
Une superbe platine !!
La RPM 3 Carbon est une super platine, avec une forme que j'apprécie beaucoup (tête de mickey + bras en S). C'est une agréable surprise de redécouvrir mes anciens vinyles. Je tiens à remercier l'équipe de maPlatine.com pour leurs conseils, ainsi que pour la rapidité et la qualité de l'envoi. De plus la platine vinyle est pré réglée par un technicien et prête à l'emploi. Bravo
