The New Rega Planar 1 Plus & Planar 1 turntables have had a make over with a new premium Matt Black & Matt White finishes. The new versions will be supplied as standard with the premium EBLT drive belt which delivers greater accuracy and improved speed performance…

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

The Planar 1 Plus benefits from all of the advantages of its sibling, the Planar 1, such as a low noise 24v motor, precision hub bearing assembly and hand made RB110 tonearm with a factory fitted Rega Carbon cartridge.

Added to the Planar 1 plus is a phono stage (preamp) built into the unit. This boosts the sound output to line level which allows connection to powered speakers or amplifiers that don't have a phono stage.

Key Features

Built-in Phono Stage
The built-in phono stage is a high specification pre-amplifier. It is designed to amplify the signal from a moving magnet cartridge to a suitable level for all line level inputs of an appropriate system or audio amplifier. This allows simple connection to a wide variety of products using either the standard twin phono to phono lead (supplied) or phono to 3.5 mm plug (not supplied).

Tonearm
Brand new RB110 tonearm built with the new Rega designed, bespoke, zero play bearings with ultra-low friction performance (Patent Pending). New bias assembly and integrated arm clip. Includes automatic bias adjustment negating the need for the user to set bias, making this the most ‘Plug & Play’ turntable we have ever manufactured. New ergonomically, re-designed and stiffer headshell for improved usability and appearance.

Cartridge
Rega Carbon moving magnet cartridge supplied fitted as standard.

Motor
24v, synchronous AC motor with a new motor PCB and aluminium pulley offering low noise and better speed stability.
