The Rega Planar 6 is engineered for a single purpose: to get you as close as possible to the music. This turntable doesn’t just play records; it reveals them. Drawing inspiration and technology directly from Rega's reference-level models, the Planar 6 is built around an ultra-lightweight foam core plinth, a material developed for the aerospace industry to provide the ultimate combination of low mass and high rigidity. Paired with the external Neo PSU for precise speed control and the hand-assembled RB330 tonearm, the Planar 6 delivers a performance of breathtaking clarity, timing, and dynamic expression that is simply in a class of its own. Key Features Neo PSU Power Supply: The Planar 6 includes the advanced Neo PSU, offering electronic speed change, a sophisticated anti-vibration circuit, and user-adjustable electronic fine speed adjustment for total accuracy. Ultra-Lightweight Plinth: Constructed from Tancast 8 polyurethane foam, an aerospace-developed material, sandwiched between a High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) for extreme rigidity and low mass. RB330 Precision Tonearm: A hand-assembled tonearm featuring a custom stainless steel balance weight and designed with the latest 3D CAD & CAM technology for near-frictionless movement. Double Brace Technology: Provides maximum rigidity where it matters most—between the tonearm and the main hub bearing—preventing energy absorption and loss of musical detail. Dual-Layer Float Glass Platter: A two-piece, smoked/clear glass platter that enhances the flywheel effect for superior speed stability and stunning aesthetics. Factory Fitted Cartridge Options: Can be expertly paired and factory-fitted with a Rega Nd5 (MM), Nd7 (MM) or the exceptional Ania Pro (MC) cartridge for an optimized, out-of-the-box experience. Single-Piece Aluminium Sub-Platter: A machined, single-piece aluminum sub-platter provides a super-rigid and accurate foundation for the platter. Reference EBLT Drive Belt: Fitted as standard for the most accurate and consistent speed performance. Lifetime Warranty: Built to the highest standard and backed by a lifetime warranty against any manufacturing defects. Technology from the Top The Planar 6 is a masterclass in trickle-down technology. It borrows heavily from the groundbreaking engineering of Rega's flagship models, making true high-end performance more accessible than ever. The plinth is a core innovation, using an advanced foam core to create a structure that is incredibly light but phenomenally stiff. This design philosophy ensures that the turntable doesn't store unwanted energy, which would otherwise cloud the sound. Instead, you get a clean, open, and incredibly detailed presentation, with a vanishingly low noise floor that lets the subtlest musical details shine through. Precision Under Control At the heart of the Planar 6's exceptional performance is the outboard Neo PSU. This dedicated power supply uses a DSP (Digital Signal Processing) generator built around a high-stability crystal. It generates a near-perfect sinusoidal waveform to power the 24V motor, completely isolated from any mains noise or fluctuations. The result is a level of speed stability and pitch accuracy that is simply astonishing. With the push of a button, you can switch speeds effortlessly, confident that the turntable is spinning with unparalleled precision, allowing the rhythm and pace of the music to be delivered with unwavering confidence. A Mature, Refined Performance The sound of the Planar 6 is one of incredible balance, subtlety, and timing. It doesn’t need to shout to grab your attention; instead, it captivates with its unnerving ability to present music in a way that is both utterly refined and deeply musical. Every element in the mix is given its own space, with instruments and vocals rendered with lifelike texture and detail. The bass is taut, tuneful, and punctual, while the timing is so precise that you’ll find your foot tapping along unconsciously. This is a turntable that does justice to any recording, revealing the true art and emotion of the performance. Looking for More?
