REGA PLANAR 6

The REGA PLANAR 6 is a high-performance audiophile turntable engineered to extract exceptional detail, timing, and musical expression from vinyl records. Developed from the design philosophy behind Rega’s acclaimed RP8 and RP10 turntables, the Planar 6 combines an ultra-lightweight construction with advanced motor control, precision tonearm engineering, and rigid structural bracing to deliver outstanding performance in its class.

At its core, the Planar 6 uses a Tancast 8 polyurethane foam-core plinth developed from aerospace-grade material and laminated with rigid HPL (High Pressure Laminate). This exceptionally lightweight and rigid platform is designed to minimize unwanted vibration and resonance, allowing the cartridge and tonearm to retrieve more information from the record groove.

The Planar 6 is supplied with Rega's NEO MK2 power supply, a custom-matched 24 V low-noise synchronous motor, and an EBLT Reference drive belt, creating a carefully optimized drive system designed for accurate and stable record playback.

ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT TANCast 8 PLINTH

The Planar 6's lightweight plinth is constructed around Tancast 8 polyurethane foam core, a material originally developed for aerospace applications. The foam core is sandwiched between rigid HPL laminates to create a platform that combines extremely low mass with high structural rigidity.

The plinth incorporates Rega's Double Brace Technology, using custom-matched aluminium tonearm and hub pillars to increase rigidity between critical mounting points. This helps maintain the precise relationship between the tonearm, platter, and main bearing while reducing the influence of unwanted mechanical energy.

PRECISION REGA RB330 TONEARM

The Planar 6 features Rega's highly regarded RB330 precision tonearm, developed using advanced 3D CAD and CAM technology and backed by more than 35 years of Rega tonearm engineering.

Its redesigned bearing housing and carefully optimized tonearm tube are engineered to reduce potential resonance while maintaining extremely stable, low-friction movement. High-precision bearing assemblies allow the RB330 to accurately track the record groove and extract fine musical information.

The tonearm is supplied with a stainless-steel balance weight and forms a highly precise mechanical interface between the cartridge and record.

NEO MK2 POWER SUPPLY AND 24 V MOTOR

The Planar 6 incorporates Rega's NEO MK2 power supply as standard. The power supply provides electronic speed control, fine speed adjustment, and advanced anti-vibration control while allowing convenient selection between the turntable's operating speeds.

The accompanying 24 V low-noise synchronous motor is individually hand-matched to its own Neo PSU, helping optimize motor control and reduce unwanted vibration. A custom drive pulley and EBLT Reference drive belt complete the upgraded drive system.

SINGLE-PIECE MACHINED ALUMINIUM SUB-PLATTER

The Planar 6 uses a single-piece machined aluminium sub-platter, designed to provide a precise and rigid interface between the drive system and platter assembly.

Combined with the custom drive pulley and EBLT Reference belt, the sub-platter contributes to the precise rotational performance expected from a high-performance Rega turntable.

DUAL-LAYER FLOAT GLASS PLATTER

A dual-layer float glass platter provides the Planar 6 with a rigid and accurately machined platform for record playback. The platter is available in smoked glass, while the Matt White version is supplied with a clear platter and clear dustcover.

The rigid platter construction is designed to maintain consistent record support while contributing to the turntable's overall mechanical stability.

EBLT REFERENCE DRIVE BELT

The EBLT Reference drive belt is fitted as standard on the Planar 6. Rega's upgraded belt design works with the custom drive pulley and precision motor system to provide accurate and stable platter rotation.

This combination allows the Planar 6 to maintain the consistent rotational performance required for accurate pitch, timing, and musical presentation.

DOUBLE BRACE TECHNOLOGY

Rega's Double Brace Technology reinforces the critical connection points between the tonearm and platter bearing. Custom-matched aluminium tonearm and hub pillars increase rigidity across the plinth, helping preserve the geometric accuracy of the turntable's key mechanical components.

The result is a carefully controlled platform designed to minimize energy transfer and maintain the precise alignment required for high-quality vinyl playback.

FACTORY-FITTED CARTRIDGE OPTIONS

The REGA PLANAR 6 can be configured with factory-fitted cartridge options including the Nd5, Nd7, and Ania Pro, allowing customers to select a configuration suited to their preferred vinyl playback system.

The Nd5 and Nd7 are Rega Moving Magnet cartridges, while the Ania Pro is a Moving Coil cartridge designed for higher-performance analogue systems.

NOTE: Cartridge availability and inclusion depend on the specific Planar 6 configuration. Optional cartridges and complementary accessories should not be represented as included unless specified with the selected package.

DESIGN AND FINISHES

The REGA PLANAR 6 is available in Matt Polaris Grey and Matt White finishes.

The Polaris Grey version combines the matt HPL plinth with a high-gloss black polymer edge trim. The Matt White version features a clear dual-layer float glass platter and clear dustcover, creating a distinctive contemporary appearance while maintaining Rega's minimalist design philosophy.
