Tonearm Design
The Rega Planar 2 features the hand-built RB220 tonearm with bespoke ultra-low-friction bearings. This allows the tonearm to pivot smoothly whilst the record plays. The lightweight tonearm integrates adjustable bias, which offers a wide range of compatible cartridges.
Cartridge
The Planar 2 includes the Rega Carbon moving magnet cartridge pre-fitted to the tonearm. This is an excellent starter cartridge based on an Audio-Technica design. The Carbon cartridge features a replaceable stylus, keeping your records sounding fresh without hassle. The Carbon stylus can also be upgraded to the Carbon Pro stylus for improved performance. The Planar 2 is also available with Rega’s hand-built Nd3 moving magnet cartridge.
Plinth and Motor
The Rega Planar 2 uses a solid MDF plinth in gloss black, gloss white, gloss red or walnut veneer finishes, creating a stiffer platform and improved appearance. An ergonomically located switch under the plinth gives you easy control. The central brass bearing provides improved fit and reduces stress on the main bearing. An asynchronous 24V motor offers better speed stability and low noise.
Platter
An Optiwhite heavy 10mm glass platter sits above the belt-driven sub-platter. Manufactured with a flywheel effect, the platter helps maintain rotational stability, ensuring a smooth performance from your vinyl collection.
