We are delighted to introduce the new matt 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.

Tonearm

Brand new RB110 tonearm built with the new Rega designed, bespoke, zero play bearings with ultra-low friction performance (Patent Pending).

Cartridge

24v synchronous motor

The first entry level Rega turntable to use a 24v, synchronous AC motor with a new motor PCB and aluminium pulley offering low noise and better speed stability.

REGA TURNTABLE FAQ


Does my turntable require a phono stage?

Yes, Rega turntables require a phono stage with the exception of the Planar 1 Plus (which has a phono-pre amp built-in).

Your hifi system may have a dedicated phono stage connection & if not you can purchase one of Rega's stanadlone phono pre-amps such as the Fono A2D or Fono MM.

Are Rega turntables manual?

Yes, all Rega turntables are manual and require you to lift the arm off & on the record.

What speeds are supported?

Rega turntables support 33rpm & 44rpm records.

Are there exceptions to the lifetime guarantee?

Rega's lifetime guarantee covers manufacturing defects.

Consumable items such as the needle & belt are not covered.

The warranty does not cover accidental damage.

Any other questions?

Please get in touch with our team of Hifi experts - there is no such thing as a silly question!

ROY GANDY

Looking back, my life’s passions have mostly been sensual; food, females, fast cars, music, wine, sailing and skiing.

My motivations, activities and work have stemmed from the need to fuel these passions rather than enjoyment of the process.

If I was born with a talent, it is the intuition to recognise when something is wrong and the impulsiveness to correct it or search for what is right.
