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 hand made RB110 tonearm fitted with our unique Rega designed ultra-low friction bearings.
