Turntables — Rega PLANAR 2

The PLANAR 2 is a belt-drive turntable from Rega, sitting above the PLANAR 1 with the celebrated RB220 tonearm pre-installed. The PLANAR 2 brings Rega's considered engineering to a somewhat more accomplished entry-tier analogue platform.

Key specs that matter

Two speeds are supported - 33 and 45rpm - via belt drive with a DC motor. The turntable comes pre-installed with the celebrated RB220 tonearm - an upgrade over the PLANAR 1's RB110. At 447 x 117 x 360mm and 5.5kg, the PLANAR 2 shares the PLANAR 1's chassis footprint with somewhat greater mass reflecting the more substantial RB220 tonearm.

Sound and use context

Expect an accomplished, dependable vinyl playback experience reflecting the celebrated RB220 tonearm's improved tracking performance over the PLANAR 1's RB110.

Pairing

The pre-installed RB220 tonearm comes factory-matched for immediate use, and buyers should confirm the specific cartridge included directly with Rega.

Alternatives

Rega's own PLANAR 1 offers a more accessible alternative with the RB110 tonearm within the same broader entry-tier catalogue.
