Performance beyond price

A fresh new look for the multi-award winning Planar 1. 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 handmade 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.

The new special edition Walnut effect finish will be
introduced and is constructed from the same high rigidity premium laminate used
on the standard matte P1. This is an attractive, high quality, realistic finish
which is supplied as standard with the premium smoked dustcover to set off the
design.
