Rega Planar 1 Turntable in Walnut Finish

Rega Planar 1 in Walnut  

Performance beyond price and winner. What the Hi-Fi? Best Turntable Awards 2025

“A plug-and-play counterweight setup ensures that this deck is set up in seconds.”

A fresh new look for the multi-award-winning Planar 1. We are delighted to introduce the new matt-finish Planar 1.

Every single aspect of the Planar 1 has been meticulously designed to improve performance. The Planar 1 uses a bespoke 24 V, low noise, synchronous motor to reduce vibration combined with our handmade RB110 tonearm fitted with our unique Rega-designed ultra-low friction bearings.

Rega has added our latest drive belt technology, the EBLT belt, which delivers greater accuracy and improved speed performance. If you are looking to get back into vinyl and want serious performance that will last you a lifetime, then look no further.
