Rega Wall Bracket for Turntables
Rega Wall Bracket for Turntables at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA The Rega Wall Bracket is the ultimate vibration isolation solution for Rega turntables, from Rega Research (Southend -on-Sea, Essex, UK), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY USA. The latest generation of Rega's turntable wall bracket, it is manufactured from lightweight 3mm laser-cut folded aluminium — 1.2kg lighter and more rigid than the previous model — and is specifically designed to complement the latest range of lightweight Rega turntables. Mounting a turntable on a wall bracket rather than a furniture shelf eliminates the primary source of acoustic feedback in most listening rooms: footfall, speaker vibration, and structural resonance transmitted through floors and furniture into the turntable's platter bearing and tonearm. Compatible with the Rega Planar 1, Planar 2, Planar 3, Planar 6, and many older Rega models, adjustable for use on uneven walls, and available in black or white to match the turntable and room aesthetic at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA. Laser-Cut Aluminium Construction and Vibration Isolation The new Rega Wall Bracket's 3mm laser-cut folded aluminium construction achieves a combination of low mass and high rigidity that previous steel wall bracket designs could not match. At 1.2kg lighter than its predecessor, the bracket places less mechanical loading on the wall mounting points while its folded aluminium profile provides greater structural stiffness against the lateral bending forces that turntable weight and occasional physical disturbance impose. Wall mounting eliminates the acoustic feedback path that floor-borne and airborne vibrations take when a turntable is placed on a shelf, sideboard, or rack. In a typical listening room, bass frequencies from loudspeakers energize the floor and furniture structures, which transmit these vibrations through the furniture surface into the turntable's feet, plinth, and platter bearing. The bearing then transmits this vibration to the stylus as noise, raising the turntable's effective noise floor and masking low-level musical detail. A wall bracket decouples the turntable from floor-borne vibration entirely, with the wall's greater mass and rigidity absorbing and attenuating airborne vibration far more effectively than any furniture or isolation platform. The adjustable mounting system compensates for uneven wall surfaces, ensuring the bracket platform is correctly levelled regardless of wall irregularities, and simple screw-fit adaptors allow the bracket to accommodate older RP8 and RP10 turntable models. Key Features 3mm Laser-Cut Folded Aluminium: Lightweight and highly rigid construction — 1.2kg lighter than the previous Rega wall bracket — for reduced wall loading and maximum structural stiffness. Ultimate Vibration Isolation: Wall mounting eliminates floor-borne vibration transmission from footfall, speaker bass output, and structural resonance that affects turntables on furniture shelves. Compatible with Planar 1, 2, 3, 6 and older Rega models: Designed to accommodate the full range of current lightweight Rega turntables and most older Rega models. Not for Planar 8 or Planar 10: A dedicated P8/P10/Naia wall bracket is available separately for skeletal Planar 8 and Planar 10 models. Adjustable for Uneven Walls: Built-in adjustment compensates for wall surface irregularities to ensure a correctly levelled turntable platform. RP8 and RP10 Adaptor Available: Simple screw-fit adaptors are available to fit the older RP8 and RP10 turntable models to this bracket. Available in Black or White: Two finish options to match the turntable colourway and room décor. Simple Wall Installation: Standard wall fixing with supplied hardware for straightforward installation on solid or studded walls.

The Rega Wall Bracket is an official Rega turntable wall mounting bracket made from 3mm laser-cut folded aluminium, available at Vinyl Sound Buffalo. It is 1.2kg lighter and more rigid than the previous model, compatible with the Rega Planar 1, Planar 2, Planar 3, Planar 6, and many older Rega models, adjustable for uneven walls, and available in black or white. It eliminates floor-borne vibration transmission into the turntable by mounting it directly to the wall, providing the most effective vibration isolation available for a Rega turntable. Why is wall mounting better than a shelf or isolation platform for a turntable? Wall mounting provides vibration isolation that no shelf, rack, or isolation platform can fully replicate because it breaks the mechanical connection between the turntable and the floor-borne vibration path entirely. Speaker bass output, footfall, and HVAC vibrations travel through floors and furniture into a shelf-mounted turntable continuously during playback. Isolation platforms reduce but cannot eliminate this transmission. A wall bracket transfers the turntable's support to the wall structure, which has far greater mass than any furniture, absorbs airborne vibration more effectively, and has no mechanical connection to the floor except through the building's foundation. The audible result is a lower noise floor, improved low-level detail retrieval, and freedom from acoustic feedback during loud playback at Vinyl Sound Buffalo. Is the Rega Wall Bracket compatible with the Planar 8 and Planar 10? No, the standard Rega Wall Bracket is not suitable for the current Planar 8 or Planar 10 models. These skeletal turntables require the dedicated Rega P8/P10/Naia Wall Bracket, which is a smaller unit designed specifically for the different footprint and mounting requirements of the skeletal chassis design. Vinyl Sound Buffalo stocks both the standard wall bracket and the P8/P10/Naia bracket — confirm your turntable model before ordering. Can the Rega Wall Bracket be fitted to a plasterboard or drywall surface? The Rega Wall Bracket is designed for solid wall installation using the supplied fixings. For plasterboard or drywall surfaces, the bracket can be fitted using appropriate wall anchors rated for the combined weight of the bracket and turntable, ideally located at wall stud positions for maximum security. Vinyl Sound Buffalo recommends consulting a professional installer for drywall mounting to ensure the fixing is safe and the bracket is correctly levelled before placing the turntable. Which finish should I choose — black or white? The Rega Wall Bracket is available in black and white to match the two primary Rega turntable colourways. Black suits black-finish Rega Planar turntables including the Planar 1 and Planar 3 in black, while white suits the white-finish variants of the same models. Both finishes provide identical acoustic and structural performance — the choice is purely aesthetic. Vinyl Sound Buffalo can advise on the correct finish for your specific turntable variant. Where can I buy the Rega Wall Bracket in Buffalo, NY? The Rega Wall Bracket is available at Vinyl Sound USA Inc. in Buffalo, NY, your authorised Rega dealer serving Western New York and the United States. Vinyl Sound stocks the Rega Wall Bracket in both black and white finishes alongside the dedicated P8/P10/Naia Wall Bracket.
