Performance beyond the price
A new look for the multi-award winning Planar 1. Rega is delighted to introduce the new Planar 1 matte finish. Every aspect of the Planar 1 has been meticulously designed to enhance performance. The Planar 1 uses a custom low-noise 24V synchronous motor to reduce vibration, combined with our handmade RB110 tonearm equipped with our Rega designed ultra-low friction bearings. Rega has added our latest drive belt technology, the EBLT belt, which delivers greater accuracy and improved speed performance. If you’re looking to get back into vinyl and want serious performance that will last you a lifetime, look no further.
Tonearm
All-new RB110 tonearm built with Rega’s newly designed ultra-low friction bearings (patent pending). New bias assembly and integrated arm clip. Includes automatic bias adjustment which eliminates the need for the user to set bias, making this the most “plug & play” turntable Rega has ever made. Ergonomic and redesigned headshell for improved usability and appearance.
24V Synchronous Motor
The first Rega entry-level turntable to use a 24V AC synchronous motor with a new motor PCB and aluminum pulley offering low noise and improved speed stability.
Detail, precision and value
The Rega Carbon delivers punchy performance with precise bass and balanced tonal control. Its wide tracking pressure range makes it a very tolerant, easy to set up and simple to use cartridge. It has a convenient removable stylus for simple and easy replacement.

Exemplary value for money for a first turntable. After quite a few comparisons, I went for this model with a Rega Fono MM MK5 preamp and an Ortofon Red 2 cartridge. The result is really good: precise sound, great openness. I think the preamp has a lot to do with it. Everything connected to an Atoll IN100SE with Bowers & Wilkins speakers. Every style of music suits it, jazz, rock, classical..

Un rapport qualité-prix exemplaire, pour une première platine. Après pas mal de comparatifs, je me suis lancé sur ce modèle avec préampli Rega Fono MM MK5 et cellule Ortofon Red 2.

Tout style de musique convient, jazz, rock, classique..
