Rega Planar 1 Turntable With Carbon Cartridge

PLANAR 1

This multi-award winning ‘Plug and Play’ design utilizes our handmade RB110 tonearm, with pre-set bias and a factory fitted Carbon cartridge. Set-up is simple, but Planar 1 still delivers great performance.

Performance beyond price

A fresh new look for the multi-award winning Planar 1.

We are delighted to introduce the new matte finish Planar 1. Every single aspect of the Planar 1 has been meticulously designed to improve performance. The Planar 1 uses a bespoke 24 V, low noise, synchronous motor to reduce vibration combined with our hand made RB110 tonearm fitted with our unique Rega designed ultra-low friction bearings. We have added our 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.
