Product Information
Taking vinyl sound to the next level, THE+RP SYSTEM SPECIAL EDITION is the ultimate, floorstanding all-in-one turntable system.
High quality vinyl system, as a one-box solution
Choosing a vinyl playback system usually means deciding between a separates system and a, perhaps less than ideal, all-in-one. At Richer Sounds, while we’d recommend a separates system, we do appreciate that there are times when they simply don’t fit. If this is case for you, THE+RP SYSTEM SPECIAL EDITION absolutely nails the brief. A top quality, Pro-Ject turntable, with enhanced tonearm and cartridge, is skilfully married to a power amp and speaker system, giving an all-in-on turntable system of exceptional quality.
Standout style
Room placement is critical to sound quality and, with the best sound usually found with the deck moved away from side walls, it can be hard to find the ideal spot. Upgrade to THE+RP SYSTEM SPECIAL EDITION and the supplied floorstand means this no longer becomes an issue. Simply place the system at the precise place it sounds best. Better still, the stand features two shelves that are perfect for storing up to 200 vinyl albums.
Top quality turntable, from Pro-Ject
With a Pro-Ject turntable at its heart, THE+RP SYSTEM SPECIAL EDITION gets off to the best start possible. The belt-drive deck uses a 24 pole motor and electronic speed control for smooth and consistent sound.
Carbon fibre tonearm
A key feature with this Special Edition version is the fitment of a carbon fibre tonearm tube. Fitted to premium quality turntables, a carbon fibre tonearm tube provides significant benefits to the sound quality. Being stiffer than steel, the tonearm is more rigid. This helps convey the music more accurately, as there's also reduced arm resonance. In short, the music sounds tighter, punchier and more detailed than before.
Ortofon 2M cartridge included
Matching the quality of the deck and tonearm, THE+RP SYSTEM SPECIAL EDITION is supplied with the award-winning Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. Usually priced at around £100 on its own, this top quality cartridge ensures a high standard of connection with your records. The highly polished, tipped elliptical diamond gives excellent tracking without causing excessive wear to your vinyl.
Powerful amplifier, built-in
Fitted with a 100 watts per channel amplifier, THE+RP SYSTEM SPECIAL EDITION has plenty of power. Delivering room-filling sound, without distortion, it’s more than capable of doing justice to a wide variety of music genres. DSP (Digital Signal Processing) helps deliver sonic precision and also offers the choice of ‘wide’ mode that can promote a more immersive and far-reaching soundstage.
Two-way, stereo speakers for clear, dynamic sound
It’s not easy to produce an all-in-one system with high quality speakers, but this system does just that. The two-way, stereo speakers feature dedicated soft dome tweeters for the perfect blend of top end detail and refinement. The mid/bass woofers are crafted from aluminium which helps produce a punchier sound from the compact enclosure. If you fancy even deeper bass, simply connect your choice of active subwoofer to the pre-output.
Bluetooth music streaming
More than just a turntable, THE+RP SYSTEM SPECIAL EDITION also pairs with your Bluetooth enabled music source. Link to a smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer and wirelessly stream all your stored digital music or music apps.
Connect your other sources
This versatile system has inputs for your other sources, too. The USB is ideal for connecting a media device and can also charge your smartphone, Chromecast, Echo Dot or other device. You can connect a CD player, TV or games console via the optical digital input. For connectivity with a vast range of other devices, simply connect via the RCA phono AUX (rear) or the 3.5mm AUX (front) sockets.
Intuitive control
With just six buttons on the front panel, the THE+RP SYSTEM SPECIAL EDITION is easy and intuitive to control. The simple display clearly shows the volume, source and power status. All the buttons are also replicated on a convenient remote control.
Stylish design with choice of finishes
Supplied with a high quality stand, THE+RP SYSTEM SPECIAL EDITION is easy to accommodate. With its smooth lines and curved edges, it blends in seamlessly, especially considering its high degree of functionality and powerful output. For the style that suits you best, choose between Walnut, Maple and White finishes.
For premium quality vinyl playback, from a standmounted all-in-one, take the THE+RP SYSTEM SPECIAL EDITION for a spin.
