A fresh new look for the multi award winning Planar 1. Rega has introduced the new matt finish Planar 1. The Planar 1 uses a bespoke 24 V, low-noise, synchronous motor to reduce vibration, combined with their hand made RB110 tonearm fitted with the unique Rega-designed ultra low friction bearings.
Rega has added their latest drive belt technology, the EBLT belt, which delivers greater accuracy and improved speed performance. If you are looking to get back into vinyl and want serious performance that will last you a lifetime, then look no further.
New Special Edition Walnut Finish
Among the new features added to it, a new special edition Walnut effect finish was launched in September 2022. This finish and the standard matt Planar 1 model’s high-rigidity premium laminate form the standard one. This is a high quality, authentic, high-end finish, along with the premium smoked dust cover.
Tonearm
The brand new RB110 tonearm is built with the new Rega design. It is bespoke, has zero play bearings and has ultra low friction performance. New bias assembly and integrated arm clip. It includes automatic bias adjustment, which negates the user’s need to set bias, making this the most โPlug & Playโ turntable we have ever manufactured. New ergonomically, re-designed and stiffer headshell for improved usability and appearance
Cartridge
The Rega Carbon delivers a punchy performance with tight bass and balanced tonal control. Its wide tracking pressure range makes it a highly tolerant cartridge that is easy to set up and use. It features a convenient removable stylus for simple and easy replacement.
24 V Synchronous Motor
This is the first entry-level Rega turntable to use a 24 V, synchronous AC motor. The new motor PCB and aluminium pulley offer low noise and better speed stability.
Plinth
A thermoset with a brand-new, glossy laminated plinth has a facelift and an of/on switch located on the underside. It is designed to be user friendly. Two of them are gloss black and gloss white, which are gorgeous.
Central Bearing Housing
Performance brass leading central bearing offers improved fit and removes stress on the bearing itself whilst minimising the transfer of potential energy (patent pending).
Platter
Brand new, 23mm, higher mass, phenolic platter with improved flywheel effect for speed stability.
