The Rega RP6 Turntable

The RP6 has been designed and engineered to achieve
outstanding performance way beyond the expectations of a product at this price
point. Excellent build quality, reliability and ease of use combine to make a
product which, if used correctly, will offer you a lifetime of musical
enjoyment. Omitting unnecessary gimmicks allows us to concentrate the
manufacturing costs on the high quality parts necessary to reproduce music
accurately. The RP6 is fitted with a hand assembled RB303 tonearm, precision
main bearing and a low vibration low noise 24v motor assembly which is
individually hand tuned to its circuit to further reduce vibration. The
minimalist design of the Rega RP6 and the use of extremely high quality
components ensure that your turntable should last for many years.

RB303 Tonearm

Designed using the latest 3D CAD technology the new RB303 is
the culmination of more than 30 years of tonearm design experience. Due to
advances in technology we have been able to fine tune the iconic RB300 tonearm
design. Featuring a brand new tube which has increased rigidity to the bearing
housing, arm carrier and headshell coupled with intelligent redistribution of
mass, ensure this arm will exhibit fewer points of possible resonance. Extreme
stability with almost friction free movement from the high precision bearing
assemblies guarantee to gather more information from your vinyl than ever
before.

TTPSU power supply

The compact TT-PSU uses a high stability crystal locked low
distortion sine wave generator. This, along with an efficient drive amplifier
fed from a stabilised DC power supply, generates a 24V AC balanced signal of
less than 0.05% distortion, which is completely un-affected by any changes in
the mains/line voltage and conditions. This then drives the improved Rega
anti-vibration circuit built into the RP6 motor PCB.

Platter adaptor

The aluminium top hub adaptor is manufactured to the highest
tolerance and uses a six point mounting system to ensure the platter and vinyl
is presented as flat as possible to the stylus.

NEW DB Technology (Double BraceTechnology)

“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 high level of performance achieved by the now iconic Planar turntable
range. The latest generation of Rega turntables takes this design philosophy to
the next level. A super lightweight plinth combined with a phenolic resin
double brace mounted specifically where the increased rigidity is required
(between the tonearm mounting and the main hub bearing) forms a structurally
sound “stressed beam” assembly. This rigid plinth design prevents energy
absorption and unwanted resonances 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 unwanted energy transmission.

16MM Glass flywheel platter

The RP6 features an innovative two piece platter design constructed from float
glass. Manufactured using a complex and labour intensive invisible UV curing
bond technique the secondary ring platter is permanently bonded to the
underside of the main platter. The extra ring adds mass to the outer
circumference which increase the natural flywheel effect of the platter
improving speed stability, accuracy and consistency.

24V Low noise motor

The motor is a high specification, 24V twin phase
synchronous unit which has the anti vibration circuit hand tuned to each motor
and is controlled by Rega’s unique and innovative TTPSU power supply. The motor
drives the CNC machined pulley and sub platter/hub-bearing assembly via the
belt drive.
