Rega Planar 6 Turntable (with ND5 Neo PSU) Combines Precision Engineering With Musical Accuracy
Rega Planar 6 Turntable (with ND5 Neo PSU) is a high-performance belt-drive turntable package designed to extract remarkable detail, dynamics, and musicality from vinyl records. Built around Rega's advanced ultra-lightweight plinth technology and supplied with the factory-fitted Rega ND5 moving magnet cartridge, this premium record player offers a carefully matched analogue playback solution for discerning music enthusiasts.
Drawing on technology developed for the acclaimed RP8 and RP10 models, the Rega Planar 6 Turntable combines innovative materials, precision manufacturing, and sophisticated motor control to deliver performance that exceeds expectations within its class.
Rega Planar 6 Turntable Utilises Ultra-Lightweight Aerospace-Inspired Construction
Rega Planar 6 Turntable is built around a unique Tancast 8 polyurethane foam core plinth, a material originally developed for aerospace applications. This ultra-lightweight core is sandwiched between high-pressure laminate skins that provide exceptional rigidity while maintaining minimal mass.
The lightweight structure reduces unwanted energy storage and resonance throughout the turntable, helping the cartridge retrieve greater levels of information from the record groove. Rega's design philosophy focuses on eliminating unnecessary mass while increasing rigidity where it matters most, resulting in cleaner, more accurate vinyl reproduction.
Available in Polaris Grey or matt white, the plinth features a durable, scratch-resistant finish designed to maintain its appearance for years of listening enjoyment.
Rega Planar 6 Turntable Enhances Stability Through Double Brace Technology
Rega Planar 6 Turntable incorporates Rega's advanced double brace technology between the tonearm mounting point and the main bearing assembly. This reinforced structure increases rigidity in the most critical areas of the turntable while preserving the benefits of the lightweight plinth design.
By minimising flex and unwanted movement, the double brace system improves tracking precision, preserves musical detail, and enhances overall playback performance across all genres of music.
RB330 Tonearm Retrieves Greater Detail From Every Record
RB330 Tonearm is hand assembled and represents more than 35 years of continuous tonearm development. Designed using advanced 3D CAD and CAM technology, the RB330 features an improved bearing housing and optimised mass distribution to reduce resonance throughout the arm.
High-precision bearings provide near-frictionless movement, allowing the tonearm and cartridge combination to track record grooves with exceptional accuracy. The stainless-steel balance weight contributes to excellent stability and consistent performance across the entire record surface.
This refined tonearm design enables the Rega Planar 6 Turntable to reveal subtle textures, fine detail, and natural musical timing that can remain hidden on lesser record players.
Rega ND5 Cartridge Extracts Detailed And Engaging Sound
Rega ND5 Cartridge is factory fitted and precisely aligned to ensure optimal performance straight from the box. This advanced moving magnet cartridge has been developed to deliver outstanding detail retrieval, accurate tonal balance, and excellent tracking ability.
The ND5 moving magnet cartridge complements the RB330 tonearm perfectly, producing a dynamic and engaging sound with strong bass definition, expressive midrange performance, and extended high-frequency clarity. Vocals, acoustic instruments, and complex musical passages benefit from the cartridge's ability to retrieve fine groove information with confidence and precision.
Factory installation also eliminates the complexity of cartridge setup, allowing listeners to enjoy the turntable with confidence from the moment it is installed.
Rega Planar 6 Turntable Maintains Precise Speed Control With Neo MK2 PSU
Rega Planar 6 Turntable is supplied with the Neo MK2 power supply, a sophisticated external motor control unit designed to maximise speed accuracy and reduce vibration.
The Neo MK2 PSU provides convenient electronic switching between 33â…“ and 45 RPM, eliminating the need for manual belt repositioning. Advanced anti-vibration circuitry and electronic fine speed adjustment help maintain precise rotational accuracy and consistent musical timing.
The 24V low-noise motor is individually hand tuned and matched to its dedicated Neo MK2 power supply, creating a highly refined drive system capable of delivering exceptional pitch stability.
Dual-Layer Glass Platter Improves Rotational Stability
Dual-Layer Float Glass Platter is engineered to provide excellent rotational consistency and energy management. Its carefully controlled mass distribution concentrates weight towards the outer edge, increasing rotational inertia and helping maintain stable playback speed.
The platter works alongside the precision-machined aluminium sub-platter, custom drive pulley, and EBLT Reference drive belt to create a highly stable rotating platform that supports accurate vinyl reproduction.
This integrated design contributes to improved timing, lower noise, and greater retrieval of musical detail throughout the frequency range.
Rega Planar 6 Turntable Features Premium Drive System Components
Rega Planar 6 Turntable incorporates a precision-machined single-piece aluminium sub-platter that improves rotational accuracy and long-term durability. The upgraded EBLT Reference drive belt is manufactured to exceptionally tight tolerances and is fitted as standard to optimise speed consistency.
A custom drive pulley further refines performance, ensuring efficient power transfer from the motor to the platter while minimising unwanted vibration.
Rega Planar 6 Turntable Complements Modern And Traditional Hi-Fi Systems
Rega Planar 6 Turntable is available in two elegant matt finishes. The Polaris Grey version features a distinctive high-gloss black edge trim, while the matt white version includes a clear dust cover and clear dual-layer float glass platter for a striking contemporary appearance.
Whether partnered with a dedicated phono stage, integrated amplifier, or high-performance separates system, the Rega Planar 6 Turntable (with ND5 Neo PSU) provides an accomplished analogue source capable of revealing the full character and emotion of a vinyl collection.
