Rega redesigns its award-winning RP1 and creates a new reference turntable in the entry level range. Every single feature of Planar 1 has been designed to enhance its audio performance.

For the first time Planar 1 mounts a 24V synchronous motor with very low noise , this reduces vibrations and combined with the brand new RB110 arm with zero tolerance bearings able to guarantee minimum friction, offers superior performance. Of the previous model only the belt, the sub-platter and the lid remain, Planar 1 is a really new turntable!

MORE DETAILS:

The Planar1 is Rega's easiest to use turntable ever. Thanks to the preset bias adjustment the Planar 1 is ready to play moments after taking it out of the box.

Simply place the counterweight on the back of the tonearm as far as it will slide, remove the stylus guard and choose the vinyl to listen to.

If you want to go back to listening to vinyl music with quality sound and with a product that guarantees durability and stability over time, Planar 1 is the best possible choice.

Tonearm – The all new RB110 tonearm uses the latest technology introduced by Rega for top end tonearms, zero tolerance bearings ensure minimal friction (patent pending). Automatic bias adjustment makes the Planar 1 the most plug and play turntable we've ever built. New ergonomics, redesigned headshell for better usability and aesthetics.

Head – Planar 1 comes with the Rega Carbon head fitted

24V Synchronous Motor – The Planar 1 is the first entry level Rega turntable to feature a 24v synchronous motor, new PCB board and aluminum pulley. All this has made it possible to reduce background noise and improve rotational stability.

Base – The base with a high gloss acrylic finish and the new position of the on/off switch make it even more elegant and easier to integrate into any environment. Two finishes are available: high gloss black and high gloss white

Pin Fixation – Completely re-engineered brass pin to provide better fixation and reduce stress on the pin itself while reducing potential energy transfer (Patent Pending)

Platter – New phenolic resin platter with higher mass and 23mm thickness for better flywheel effect and better rotational stability
