This profile is designed to extract as much detail from the vinyl surface as possible. The Ania Pro delivers tight bass warm mid-ranges and accurate top end frequencies to offer a well balanced and detailed performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"heading-2\"\u003eListen like a Pro\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing our unique hand-wound micro coil found in the rest of the MC range, the Ania Pro is housed in a unique PPS highly rigid body, ensuring accurate construction and Rega’s three point fixing method which offers the optimum connection to the head-shell while automatically setting overhang. The new body is protected by a CAD designed, red rigid cover to protect the internal fine wires, making handling when fitting, safe and risk free. The Ania Pro features a super high-powered, neodymium magnet and a coil meticulously hand wound on to an iron micro cross. This miniature assembly allows us greater freedom to track the vinyl groove guaranteeing even more detail is extracted from the vinyl. All of these features combine to deliver a balanced and dynamic performance that will engage you with your vinyl like never before. The Ania Pro is the perfect partner for the Planar 3, Planar 6 or Planar 8 turntable and a factory fitted option is available for both Planar 6 and Planar 8.

This is a difficult and expensive process requiring all of Rega’s forty-four years of experience to achieve. In particular, the “zero” tolerancing of the body is required in the alignment and dimension of the pivot pad mounting hole and the magnet mechanism mounting hole relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ania Pro body uses a unique polymer\/ 40% glass combination called Polyphenylene Sulphide (PPS-Fortron). The special attributes of this material are its hardness and stability in shape and dimension post molding, both critical for the performance of Ania. Now came the challenge. Rega designed and prototyped using SLA systems in just a few months, proving the validity of the design direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xxxlarge-6 cell module-2-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow we had to design a production mold tool capable of extreme accuracy and long life. PPS is a difficult polymer to mold and requires special attention to how the mold tool operates. Couple this to an almost unmoldable complex shape of the Ania body and a very considerable challenge faced the Rega engineers and the toolmakers chosen. The toolmakers are of the highest technical skill level, using the most accurate Swiss EDM CNC machines, their regular customers being the military and medical industries, routinely working down to a micron (one thousandth of a millimeter).To achieve this intricate body shape required the most complex high pressure injection mold tool that Rega has ever designed. The tool has eight major parts, four of which must move in perfect synchronicity with each other to achieve each cartridge body. The design and manufacture of this “work of art” took an entire year to produce and was made exclusively by the most senior toolmaker requiring all his lifetime of artisanal experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombine this special PPS body with its high specification stainless steel inserts, a unique rhomboid pivot system, a tried and tested high performance, diamond tipped elliptical stylus cantilever with low mass moving coil generator assembly and you have new market leading musicality, performance, speed, clarity, and detail as never before at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracking pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.75 - 2.00 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput load impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100 Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10 Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNominal output voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e350 μV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel balance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e≥ 20 μV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeparation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e≥ -29 dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLOAD SETTINGS FOR ADJUSTABLE MC STAGES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100 Ω\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacitance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1000 pF\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGain setting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh (‘On’ position for Rega phono stages)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Music Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51268127064345,"sku":"0039newRega","price":1225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/4225\/1545\/files\/Rega_Ania_Pro_MC_Cartridge_1.jpg?v=1769015071","url":"https:\/\/tmraudio.com\/products\/rega-ania-pro-mc-cartridge","provider":"The Music Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
