Rega Planar 3 Turntable

A Benchmark in High-Performance Vinyl Playback

Few turntables have earned the reputation of the Rega Planar 3. For decades, it has been a favorite among serious music enthusiasts, combining innovative engineering, exceptional performance, and outstanding value.

Designed and manufactured in England, the Planar 3 delivers the timing, detail, dynamics, and musical engagement that have made Rega one of the most respected names in analog audio.

Engineered for the Music

At the heart of the Planar 3 is Rega's precision-engineered RB330 tonearm. Hand-assembled using carefully selected components, the RB330 provides accurate tracking, excellent stability, and the ability to retrieve subtle musical information from your records.

The 12mm Optiwhite float-glass platter provides consistent rotational performance, while the precision main bearing and advanced EBLT drive belt contribute to smooth, stable playback.

Lightweight, Rigid, and Remarkably Musical

Rather than relying on excessive mass to control vibration, Rega employs a lightweight, rigid plinth strengthened by its double-brace technology.

Strategically positioned between the tonearm mounting and main bearing, the bracing reduces unwanted energy absorption and resonance while maintaining structural rigidity.

The result is a lively, detailed, and exceptionally involving listening experience.

Designed to Grow with Your System

The Planar 3 offers an excellent foundation for future upgrades.

Its RB330 tonearm accommodates a variety of high-performance cartridges, including Rega's Nd3 and Nd5 moving-magnet models.

For even greater convenience and performance, the optional Rega Neo turntable power supply provides electronic speed selection and enhanced motor control.

Whether you're rediscovering a cherished record collection or building a serious analog system, the Planar 3 is a turntable you'll enjoy for years to come.
