RPM Reference Speed Control
The RPM is the new high-specification, ultra-accurate statement speed control for use with the Xerxes 20+. Consisting of an entirely new and highly advanced digital speed control PCB and audiophile-grade components, The RPM represents a significant upgrade from the previous and long-established reference speed control as featured in the discontinued DX2.
Featuring a very high quality crystal speed control system, it maintains pitch perfect speed stability for both 33/45rpm. One new feature of the RPM is its ability to adjust speed by up to 6.25% either way. This is a very useful addition for customers in areas or countries with unstable or poor currency voltage to attain the exact, correct speed.

VSC & VSC S2 Vinyl System Control
Like the previous DX2, the VSC and VSC S2 units combine both the RPM and RPP in one Caspian M chassis. There are two options available:
The VSC uses one DS1.5 power supply module to power both the RPP and RPM sections, whereas the VSC S2 utilises a dedicated power supply for each section. For further flexibility another power supply can be fitted so that a VSC can be upgraded at any time after purchase to VSC S2 specification.
Specifications
Ultimate control and convenience: RPP phono preamplifier and RPM speed control in one unit. Available in two versions: choice of either one or two internal DS1.5 power supply modules.
High quality Caspian M Series chassis and front plate design.
