PLANAR3B Blk Rega Belt Drive Turntable Requires Optional Cartridge

 
Planar 3 Turntable - Black

Replacing the multi award winning and five times What Hi-Fi? Product of the Year (RP3) was never going to be an easy task.

It tookRega's team of designers headed up by Rega'sRoy Gandy,two years to developthe all new 'Planar 3' following thebiggest re-design of the iconic'three' model ever seen.

Their team worked tirelessly to improve every aspect of this turntable offering improvedergonomics, usability and firstand foremost, sonic performance.

The new ‘Planar 3' is truly anew turntable carrying over just two components fromthe previousmodel.

RB330tonearm- Designed using the latest 3D CAD & CAM technology, the newRB330is the culmination of more than 35years oftonearmdesign experience.

Featuring a brand new bearing housing, andour latesttonearm tubedesigned usingintelligent redistribution of mass ensure this arm will exhibit fewer points of possible resonance.

Extreme stability with almost friction free movement fromthe new high precision bearing assemblies guarantees to gather more information from your vinyl than ever before.

  • Featuring anew bias assembly, re-designed stiffer vertical bearing housing, integrated
    arm clip and animproved spring housing with easier to readnumbers.
  • Rega made,new low capacitancephonocable withNeutrikplugs,
  • Improved lower friction, precision horizontal and vertical bearings
  • New design100gmild steel balance weight.

Plinth -High gloss acrylic laminated plinth, stiffer and vastly improved appearance with ergonomically positioned power switch.

Now available in three plinth finishes: gloss black, gloss white and gloss red.

Double braces- Improved thicker3mm phenolic bottom brace and new metalisedskin phenolic top brace.

Bearing housing- Re-designed brassmain hub central bearing, improved fit and construction reducing stress on the bearing itself.

Sub platter-Re-designed sub platter, improved accuracy and improved stiffness.

Platter- New float glass ‘Optiwhite' polished rim12mm- Improved accuracy in manufacture and stunning looks.

Re-designed foot- New improved footto increase stability and reduce vibration transfer.

24V motor -Improved new motor controlPCBwith integration for the addition of TT-PSUfor electronic speed change and improved advanced anti-vibration circuit(sold separately).

Motor cover traywith integrated cooling.

Specifications
DB Technology (Double Brace Technology)

"Mass absorbs energy - lost energy equals lost music!"

Rega has pioneered the use of lightweight rigid plinths. Clever use of lightweight particulate core with a highly rigid phenolic resin skin became the foundations of the highlevel of performance achieved by the now iconic original Planar range.

The new Planar 3takes this design philosophy to the next level.

A lightweight acrylic laminated plinth strengthenedusing a newimproveddouble brace system mounted specifically where the increased rigidity is required (between the tonearm mounting and the main hub bearing) which forms a structurally sound "stressed beam" assembly.

This rigid plinth design prevents energy absorption and unwanted resonance, which will add unnatural distortions to the music.

Equally, heavier mass can transfer more unwanted energy, such as motor or bearing noise directly into the rotating record.

The use of braces instead of the complete skin allows double thickness phenolic resin in these key areas while providing further weight reduction to the plinth which directly addresses the issue of mass absorption and unwantedenergy transmission.

Hand assembled RB330tonearm.
24v low noise motor / 12mm float glass platter.
Lightweight double braced plinth.
Precision main bearing.
Elys2MMcartridge (optional).
Compatible with the TT-PSU electronic speed change and power supply box (optional).
