Rega Planar 1 Plus Matt Black. Rega Planar 1 Turntable Version with Built-in Phono Preamp - This preamplification allows it to be connected to the Auxiliary input of any amplifier or self-powered speaker.
REGA Planar 1. The new Planar 1 is Rega's easiest-to-use turntable to date. Now, with the pre-set bias force on the new RB110 arm, the Planar 1 is set up in seconds after unpacking. Simply slide the balance weight at the back of the arm to the stop, remove the stylus guard, and start listening to your favorite vinyl.
Performance beyond the price
Every aspect of the Planar 1 has been meticulously designed to improve performance. For the first time, the Planar 1 now runs with a 24V low-noise synchronous motor to reduce vibration transfer, combined with our new RB110 arm equipped with Rega's new zero-play bearing set. Sharing only the drive belt, sub-platter, and dust cover of the previous RP1, this is truly a new turntable for 2016.
If you are looking to return to vinyl and want serious performance that will last you a lifetime, then look no further.
