Rega Planar 3 turntable with RB 330 & Nd5

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 looking for outstanding sound quality and innovative technology.

Attention: Tonearm and cartridge 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 multi-award-winning RP3, retaining only two components from its predecessor.

Key features:

• Lightweight construction and high rigidity: The lightweight acrylic-laminated chassis is reinforced by an improved double-bracing system, specifically mounted at critical points between the tonearm mount 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).
• Insulation: 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 operation easier.

RB 330 tonearm: Precision and stability

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

Key features:

• New bearing housing: Offers extreme stability and virtually frictionless movement, allowing more information to be read from the record.
• Intelligent mass distribution: Reduces potential 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 was 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 utilize an ultra-high-performance neodymium N55 magnet, which 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: Ensures excellent channel balance and a wider soundstage.
• Miniaturized parallel circuit: wound with 38-micron wire, resulting in a low-inductance and low-resistance generator and significantly improving high-frequency reproduction.
• Highly rigid PPS housing: The injection-molded, glass-filled polyphenylene sulfide housing is lightweight and extremely rigid, reducing stress on the tonearm bearings and supporting free movement.

• Aesthetics: Available in three high-gloss colors (black, white, red) and the new Light Oak variant.
