Planar 2 Turntable

The new Planar 2 was developed over two years alongside the recently released Rega Planar 3. Featuring the brand new RB220 tonearm which is packed with groundbreaking new features.  A new 24v, low noise motor, acrylic laminated plinth, newly designed central bearing and so much more. Every feature of this innovative new turntable is designed to extract the maximum amount of information and detail from your vinyl collection..

A stunning walnut effect finish was introduced in November 2022. The Walnut effect Planar 2 is supplied with the smoked dustcover as standard (other finishes are supplied with the clear dustcover).

The Planar 2 is a true step up in performance, so whilst the extra £150 over the Planar 1 seams a big jump its what is required to gain the audible difference, and is something we regularly demonstrate to our customers in store.

Tonearm – Featuring the brand new RB220 tonearm which is packed with groundbreaking new features. Incorporating new ultra low friction, Rega designed, bespoke, zero play ball bearings (Patent Pending), housed within a brand new, stiffer and lightweight bearing housing which was developed with a new automatic bias setting negating the need for the user to set bias, making it almost completely plug and play apart from simple arm balancing. The new housing also includes an integrated arm clip and uses Rega’s latest custom aluminium arm tube.

Hub bearing – The Planar 2 has a new 11mm self securing brass bearing (Patent Pending) offering improved fit and less stress on the bearing preventing the transfer of potential energy.

Plinth – High gloss acrylic laminated plinth, stiffer and vastly improved appearance with ergonomically positioned power switch. Four plinth finishes available, high gloss black, white, red or Walnut

Motor – New 24v low noise, low vibration motor assembly and new PCB.
