Rega Planar 3 turntable with RB 330 & Nd3

Rega Planar 3 with RB 330 tonearm and Rega Nd3 cartridge

The Rega Planar 3 with the new Rega Nd3 cartridge is the ideal combination for all vinyl lovers who are looking for outstanding sound quality and innovative technology.

Attention: Tonearm and pickup are not pre-assembled.

Rega Planar 3: An icon in a new form

The Rega Planar 3 is the result of a two-year development process led by Rega's Roy Gandy. The Planar 3 inherits the legacy of the award-winning RP3 while retaining only two components from the previous model.

Key features:

• Lightweight construction and high rigidity: The lightweight acrylic laminated chassis is reinforced by an improved double reinforcement system, which is specially mounted at the critical points between the tonearm support and the main bearing. This prevents energy absorption and unwanted resonances, resulting in clear and precise music reproduction.
• Turntable: The 12 mm thick, high-precision float glass Optiwhite turntable ensures constant speeds and minimizes wow and flutter.
• 24V Motor: A low noise and low vibration motor with an improved control PCB allows the integration of the Neo PSU for electronic speed changes and an advanced anti-vibration system (sold separately).
• Isolation: New, improved feet increase stability and reduce the transmission of vibrations.
• Easy to use: An ergonomically positioned power supply and a multilingual quick start guide make setup and handling easy.

RB 330 tonearm: precision and stability

The RB 330 tonearm was developed using the latest 3D CAD and CAM technology and is the result of over 35 years of experience in tonearm design.

Key features:

• New bearing housing: Provides extreme stability and almost frictionless movement, allowing more information to be sampled from the record.
• Intelligent mass distribution: Reduces possible resonance points and ensures clearer sound reproduction.
• Ergonomic design: easy to use and aesthetically pleasing.

Rega Nd3 cartridge: Advanced technology for outstanding performance

The Nd3 Moving Magnet cartridge has been developed over 10 years and offers a completely new level of performance in moving magnet technology.

Key features:

• Neodymium Magnet: The Nd3 is the world's first moving magnet cartridge to use an ultra-high performance neodymium N55 magnet that offers significantly more power than conventional magnets.
• Elliptical Diamond Stylus: The stylus consists of a high-quality elliptical profile mounted on a round titanium shaft, ensuring precise tracking and detailed sound reproduction.
• Optimized generator geometry: Provides excellent channel balance and a wider sound stage.
• Miniaturized parallel circuit: Wound with 38-micron wire, resulting in a low-inductance and low-impedance generator and greatly improving high-frequency reproduction.
• Highly rigid PPS housing: The injection-molded, glass-filled polyphenylene sulfide housing is lightweight and extremely rigid, which reduces stress on the tonearm bearings and supports free movement.

Design and Sustainability

• Aesthetics: Available in three high-gloss colors (black, white, red) and the new Light Oak variant.
• Sustainability: The Nd3 is delivered in 100% recyclable packaging, in line with Rega's commitment to environmental friendliness.

Conclusion

The Rega Planar 3 with RB 330 tonearm and Rega Nd3 cartridge is the perfect combination of cutting-edge technology, outstanding design and superior sound quality. Experience your vinyl collection in a new dimension with this innovative and elegant solution from Rega.
