The Planar 10 was inspired by the ultimate Rega turntable, the Naiad. Built around an ultra-light skeletal plinth, constructed from Tancast 8 core and covered in a high-pressure laminate (HPL) skin, it is exceptionally low mass. The Planar 10 is the first production turntable to use ceramic bracing, which provides an extremely rigid surface for mounting the RB3000 tonearm and custom central bearing assembly.
The platter is also made from Ceramic Oxide, and eye wateringly expensive material to use for this sort of application, but one that Rega feels gives them the exceptional rigidity and resonance characteristics that they are looking for. It's diamond cut and has a flywheel profile to increase mass as its perimeter.
The 24v AC motor is fed from the PS10 power supply, a half width box with a sophisticated AC waverform regenerator and electronic speed switching on 33.3 and 45rpm, which is tuned and calibrated to match the deck at the factory.
Two finishes of the Planar 10 are available, matt White with a clear dust cover and black mat, and matt Polaris Grey with a smoked cover and white mat.
The Planar 10 is also fitted with a bespoke ceramic oxide platter which is diamond cut during manufacture for ultimate accuracy and speed stability. The Rega 24 V synchronous motor is controlled by our most advanced outboard power supply, the P10-PSU. This supply delivers the ultimate in motor vibration reduction, electronic fine speed adjustment and the convenience of electronic speed change. The Planar 10 is designed to deliver the ultimate in Rega performance by extracting more information from the vinyl groove than ever before.
