Product Description:
All the features of the award-winning Planar 1 turntable with the addition of a built-in high quality MM phono stage, making this the ultimate ‘Plug and Play’ turntable.
Rega asked themselves, how do they make their most successful turntable sound even better, easier to use, and more accessible for a wider audience? The answer was clear; they integrated a custom-designed, high-quality moving magnet phono stage, drawing inspiration from the acclaimed What Hi-Fi? 5 Star Fono Mini.
Every aspect of the Planar 1 PLUS underwent meticulous design to elevate performance. Featuring a bespoke 24 V, low-noise synchronous motor to minimize vibration, paired with the hand-made RB110 tonearm equipped with Rega-designed ultra-low friction bearings. Additionally, they introduced the latest drive belt technology, the EBLT belt, ensuring greater accuracy and improved speed performance. For those considering a return to vinyl and seeking enduring performance, their solution is the ultimate choice.
Built-In Phono Stage
The built-in phono stage serves as a high-specification pre-amplifier, meticulously designed to amplify the signal from a moving magnet cartridge to a suitable level for all line-level inputs of compatible systems or audio amplifiers. This facilitates straightforward connectivity to a diverse range of products, utilizing either the standard twin phono to phono lead (provided) or phono to 3.5 mm plug (not provided).
Tonearm
The new RB110 tonearm features the latest Rega-designed bespoke ultra-low friction bearings (patent pending). This innovative design incorporates a new bias assembly and integrated arm clip, complete with automatic bias adjustment, eliminating the need for users to manually set bias. This makes it the most 'plug & play' turntable ever manufactured by us. Additionally, the ergonomically designed headshell enhances usability and appearance for an improved user experience.
24V Synchronous Motor
Planar 1 features a 24 V synchronous AC motor, coupled with a new motor PCB and aluminum pulley for reduced noise and enhanced speed stability.
Drive Belt
Advanced EBLT drive belt supplied as standard for improved speed performance and accuracy.
