Equipped with Regas RB330 tonearm

Rega's RB330 tonearm is the epitome of precision. It is designed using the latest 3D CAD & CAM technology and the result of over 35 years of experience in tonearm design. The new bearing housing and innovative tone arm tube ensure the least possible resonance and maximum stability. The new high-precision bearings deliver almost frictionless movement and collect more information from your vinyl records than ever before.

A plinth with low weight and high stiffness

The plinth is in a nice walnut effect laminated board adorned with an ergonomically positioned on/off button is proof of Rega's pioneering work in light, rigid boards. Using a lightweight particle core and a rigid phenolic resin surface, the high level of performance that characterizes the iconic Planar series is achieved.

A low-voltage motor with minimal noise and maximum precision

Minimal noise and maximum precision is achieved with a 24V low-noise, low-voltage motor and circuit board assembly, mounted with a custom-made CNC-machined aluminum pulley.

A central bearing with less stress and increased durability

Rega has designed a patented brass central bearing that provides an improved fit and construction, reducing stress on the bearing and ensuring long-term durability.

A design completely without energy absorption and unwanted resonance

Using a 3mm phenolic bottom brace and metallized phenolic top brace, this 50th anniversary edition Rega Planar 3 achieves exceptional strength through its dual stiffness system. It is strategically placed between the tonearm mount and main hub bearing to create a solid "beam joint" that increases stiffness where it is most needed.

This rigid plinth design prevents energy absorption and unwanted resonance, which can add unnatural distortions to the music. At the same time, the heavier mass prevents unwanted energy, such as engine or bearing noise, from being transferred directly into the rotating plate. Using stiffeners allows a double thickness of phenolic resin to be used in these key areas, while making the plinth lighter and preventing the mass absorption and unwanted energy transfer.

NEO MK2 PSU - A power supply out of the ordinary

The Rega Planar 3 50th Anniversary Edition includes the advanced Neo MK2 PSU power supply, which offers a user-controlled speed adjustment, an advanced anti-vibration motor circuit and the convenience of an electronic speed change. Neo MK2 reduces motor noise, improves speed stability and ensures a precise rotation speed for an optimal listening experience.

Treat yourself to a turntable that not only looks great, but also delivers the ultimate in vinyl playback. The Rega Planar 3 50th Anniversary Edition is a must-have for enthusiasts and collectors alike, providing you with a unique listening experience only possible with Rega's relentless commitment to innovation and quality.
