Reloop RP-7 - Professional 7" direct-drive turntable with high torque and integrated phono/line preamp

Reloop RP-7 - Professional 7" direct-drive turntable with high torque and integrated phono/line preamp

The Reloop RP-7 is the first professional production turntable specifically designed for 7" (45 rpm) vinyl . It pays homage to 45 culture by combining a high-torque (2.5 kgf cm) brushless DC motor with a precision die-cast aluminium platter and a straight copper tonearm with internal damping . Its direct-drive architecture, electronic brake and < 1 s start-up offer rock-solid control for mixing and scratching , while the integrated phono preamp and switchable phono/line outputs (gold-plated RCA) simplify connection to any mixer or active speaker.

With three speeds (33⅓, 45 and 78 rpm), a selectable pitch range of ±8% / ±16% / ±35% and a pitch reset button for instant return to 0%, the RP-7 delivers the performance of Reloop’s professional series in a compact form factor. The straight tonearm is statically balanced and its VTA base is adjustable (0–6 mm) , eliminating the need for anti-skating and reducing the risk of error during setup. The detachable and rotatable aluminum stylus LED light ensures visibility in dark booths, and the flush-mounted connection module facilitates clean integration into your setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does it include a capsule or headshell ? No. They are sold separately; the connection is SME ( headshell with capsule recommended).
• Do you need anti-skating? No. The RP-7's balanced straight-arm system and design eliminate the need for it.
• Can I connect it to a line input? Yes. It has a line output thanks to the integrated phono preamp (phono/line switching).
• Is it designed for 7" only? Yes. Although it supports 33⅓, 45, and 78 rpm, its mechanics and 215 mm platter are optimized for 7" vinyl.
