The Rega Planar 2 Turntable, a meticulously engineered audio device, is designed to elevate the vinyl listening experience by extracting the finest details from records. This turntable is the result of a two-year intensive development process, conducted alongside the Planar 3, demonstrating a commitment to innovation and high-quality performance.

Central to the Rega Planar 2’s design is its custom-developed ultra-low friction bearings. These bearings are an integral part of the RB220 tonearm, which itself is housed within a newly designed, more rigid, and lightweight bearing housing. This design not only enhances the turntable’s performance but also simplifies its setup. Further adding to its versatility and user-friendliness, the turntable features updated adjustable bias, providing improved flexibility and compatibility with various cartridges.

A standout feature of the Planar 2 is its 11 mm self-securing brass bearing, housed within its central unit. This component is currently under a “Patent Pending” status, underscoring its innovative nature. The design of this bearing ensures a better fit and minimizes stress, which in turn reduces potential energy transfer. This is crucial for maintaining the purity and clarity of the audio output, as it prevents unwanted vibrations from affecting the playback.

In pursuit of reducing noise and vibration, the turntable is equipped with a new 24 V motor assembly and PCB. This enhancement contributes to a smoother and quieter operation, which is essential for achieving a pristine listening experience. Complementing this, the turntable’s new float glass ‘Optiwhite’ 10 mm platter plays a vital role in improving accuracy during playback, ensuring that every nuance and detail in the vinyl record is captured and conveyed with precision.

Aesthetic appeal and durability are not overlooked in the Planar 2’s design. It features a high-gloss acrylic or walnut effect laminated plinth, which not only provides improved stiffness but also adds a visually appealing element to the turntable. This is complemented by strategically placed power switches for ease of use and a standard dust cover to protect the device. For models with the walnut effect finish, a smoked dust cover is included by default. Additionally, optional plinth protectors are available to safeguard the turntable’s surface from marks, preserving its elegant appearance over time.

Stability and vibration reduction are further enhanced by the turntable’s redesigned feet. The improved foot assembly significantly reduces vibration transfer, which is a critical factor in achieving unblemished audio performance. This attention to detail ensures that the Rega Planar 2 delivers a listening experience that is as uninterrupted and pure as possible.

For user convenience, the Rega Planar 2 is equipped with the Rega Carbon cartridge as a standard feature. This inclusion allows for a plug-and-play experience, eliminating the need for users to navigate the often-complex world of cartridge selection.

Moreover, the turntable comes with a user-friendly, multi-lingual quick start guide, which streamlines the setup process. This makes it accessible to a wide range of users, regardless of their technical expertise or previous experience with turntables.

The Rega Planar 2 Turntable is a testament to Rega’s dedication to quality and user experience. It stands as a premium choice for vinyl enthusiasts who seek exceptional sound quality, ease of operation, and a visually appealing design. The turntable’s combination of innovative engineering, user-focused features, and elegant design makes it a noteworthy addition to any audio setup.
