The Rega Planar 3 Oak with Exact MM needle and Rega Neo TTPSU offers a perfect combination of natural elegance and high-end audio performance. This unique record player, with its beautiful oak finish, takes your listening experience to the next level. A significant upgrade over the Planar 2, the Planar 3 Oak delivers improved stability, sound quality and precision, ideal for the true vinyl enthusiast.
Natural Design and High-Quality Materials
The Rega Planar 3 Oak is distinguished by the use of a lightweight baseboard, laminated with acrylic and reinforced with a double brace system. This construction minimizes unwanted resonances and energy absorption, resulting in faithful music reproduction. The oak finish adds a warm, natural aesthetic to any listening room, while the double glass shelf ensures stable rotational speed and minimal resonance.
Precision and Stability with the RB330 Tone Arm
The RB330 tonearm, designed using the latest CAD and CAM technology, offers exceptional precision and stability. The tonearm is optimized for mass distribution, resulting in fewer resonance points and accurate sound reproduction. Combined with the Rega Exact MM needle, the RB330 tonearm provides a dynamic and detailed listening experience, capturing every nuance of your vinyl records.
Ease of Use and Flexibility
The Planar 3 Oak is designed for both ease of use and flexibility. The record player comes almost fully assembled, making installation quick and easy. The RB330 tone arm with preset bias force makes setup effortless, even for beginners. In addition, the Planar 3 offers the option to mount your own cartridge, such as the Rega Ania moving coil needle, for even better performance.
Rega Neo TTPSU - Precise Speed Control
The addition of the Rega Neo TTPSU external power supply and speed controller offers significant benefits. This advanced power supply provides accurate and stable rotational speed, resulting in improved sound reproduction.
