Rega Planar 6 Turntable with Neo PSU

IMPORTANT NOTE: All new Planar 6 will be shipped using the new Reference EBLT drive belt. This new belt is black and cylindrical, and offers greatly improved speed stability.

The Planar 6 is built around the huge success of the RP8 andRP10turntables. It is the first newRegaturntable to be constructed withan ultra-lightweight Tancast 8 polyurethane foam core plinth(a material developedfor the aerospace industry). This material is sandwiched between a new HPL (high-pressure laminate).HPLis exceptionally thin whilstextremely rigid and ispresented in a stunningPolaris matt grey finished with high gloss polymer black edge trim.

The Planar 6 now benefits from a single piece, machined aluminum sub-platter, a new 24v motor hand-tuned and matched to its own NEO power supply and custom drive pulley fitted with our upgrade drive belt as standard.

The Neo PSU uses the RP10 DSP (digital signal processing) generator built upon a high-stability crystal. The DSP generator will divide the accurate signal from the crystal to the exact frequency required to turn the platter at the selected speed. The DSP generator will also produce a near-perfect sinusoidal waveform to drive the motor. This, along with an efficient drive amplifier, generates a 24V AC balanced signal of less than 0.15% distortion, which is completely unaffected by any changes in the mains/line voltage and conditions. This then drives the turntable’s anti-vibration circuit, which is situated beneath the turntable.
