Rega Planar 2 - Red - Black - White - Walnut

Description

Refined design for enhanced performance
The Rega Planar 2 is a precision-engineered manual turntable designed to extract maximum detail and musicality from your vinyl collection. Built with an acrylic gloss laminated plinth or walnut effect laminate, the chassis combines rigidity and aesthetics while maintaining low resonance. Its improved central bearing housing and advanced isolation feet further reduce unwanted vibration, ensuring a stable and natural sound reproduction.

RB220 precision tonearm
At the heart of the Planar 2 lies the RB220 tonearm, equipped with ultra-low friction bearings housed in a stiffer, lightweight structure. Its custom aluminium arm tube has been meticulously designed for rigidity, reducing resonance and improving tracking accuracy. With the updated adjustable bias system, the RB220 offers greater flexibility and compatibility with a wide range of cartridges, making it versatile for different listening preferences.

Advanced motor and drive system
The turntable features a 24 V low-noise, low-vibration synchronous motor, paired with Rega’s advanced EBLT drive belt. This combination delivers superior speed stability and minimises background noise, allowing the stylus to read every groove with precision. The integration of the new PCB and motor mounting system further enhances accuracy and reduces mechanical interference.

High-precision platter and bearing
The Planar 2 is equipped with a 10 mm float glass “Optiwhite” platter, designed to provide improved accuracy and speed consistency. The 11 mm brass main bearing, self-securing by design, minimises stress while preventing the transfer of unwanted energy into the plinth. This ensures a quieter and more refined vinyl playback experience.

Elegant finishes and dust cover
Available in high-gloss acrylic finishes or walnut effect laminate, the Planar 2 blends seamlessly into modern and traditional interiors alike. The gloss versions include a clear dust cover, while the walnut effect edition is paired with a smoked dust cover, both designed to protect the plinth and maintain the turntable’s refined appearance over time.

Cartridge options for convenience
Supplied as standard with the Rega Carbon moving magnet cartridge, the Planar 2 is ready for immediate plug-and-play use. For those seeking an upgrade, it is also available factory-fitted with the Rega Nd3 moving magnet cartridge, offering a step forward in detail retrieval and tonal refinement.
