Performance beyond price

Every single aspect of the Planar 1 has been meticulously designed to improve performance. For the first time the Planar 1 is now running a 24v, low noise, synchronous motor to reduce vibration transfer combined with our brand new RB110 tonearm fitted with Rega's bespoke zero play bearings. Only sharing the drive belt, sub platter and dust cover from the outgoing RP1, this is truly a new turntable from the ground up.

If you are looking to get back into vinyl and want serious performance that will last you a lifetime, then look no further.

The model features Rega’s RB110 tonearm, equipped with bespoke zero-play bearings for exceptionally low friction and a redesigned bias assembly with automatic adjustment, making it the most plug-and-play turntable Rega has produced. It comes fitted with a Rega Carbon cartridge as standard, while the 24v synchronous AC motor, paired with a new PCB and aluminium pulley, delivers reduced noise and enhanced speed stability. The thermoset, gloss-laminated plinth offers a noticeably refined appearance, complete with a newly positioned underside power switch and a choice of gloss black or gloss white finishes.

Engineering improvements continue throughout the design, including a re-engineered brass main bearing to minimise stress and unwanted energy transfer, and a new 23mm high-mass phenolic platter that offers a stronger flywheel effect for steadier rotation. Revised feet improve overall stability and reduce vibration, while a new motor cover tray provides integrated cooling. The package is completed with a 111g 'plug-and-play' balance weight for straightforward setup and dependable performance.
