Overview	Pro-Ject Essential Drive Belt	Pro-Ject RPM 9 Carbon Turntable	Kronos Audio Pro Turntable
Summary	Please Note: Essential Drive Belt (Part Code: 1940 675 222 and/or 1940 675 302) Drive Belts are used on all Pro-Ject turntables as the method by which the turntable platter rotates. In many cases the belt turns a sub-platter, which sits underneath the main platter - like with the multi-award winning Debut record player. However, there are also other turntables that use a belt which reaches around the perimeter of the main platter itself - avoiding the need for a sub-platter. All Pro-Ject drive belts are made of the highest quality materials, and are optimised to work with certain turntables from the Pro-Ject range.	The RPM 9 Carbon boasts a new 7.2kg polished aluminium platter, inspired by the award-winning Xtension 9 SuperPack record player. The platter is internally lined with Thermo-Plastic Elastomer (TPE) damping material and topped with vinyl. The whole platter sits on top of a high-quality inverted ceramic main bearing for a completely stable turntable speed with extra-low rumble. Key Features: Premium 'teardrop' turntable design Advanced sandwich construction of plinth made from MDF, carbon fibre and steel pellets Mass-loaded subchassis design with magnetic feet Inverted main bearing with ceramic ball 7.2kg acoustically inert aluminium platter with TPE damping and vinyl mat Precise DC driven AC generator (Speed Box) built-in to motor Electronic speed control with easy switching between 33 and 45RPM Outboard motor construction with massive steel base Pre-mounted 9CC Evolution tonearm	Please Note: This item cannot be ordered online.
