The Planar 3 RS Editio is a storied belt-drive turntable from Rega, pre-fitted with the celebrated RB330 tonearm and the Rega Nd5 moving-magnet cartridge in this specific limited "RS Editio" cosmetic treatment. The Planar 3 RS Editio brings Rega's most storied engineering heritage to a serious, complete analogue playback platform.

Key specs that matter

Drive is via belt with a fixed suspension. The turntable comes pre-installed with the celebrated RB330 tonearm and the Rega Nd5 moving-magnet cartridge - a complete, factory-matched analogue front end reflecting the Planar 3's storied heritage. The platter uses a distinctive 12mm float-glass, opti-white polished construction. At 180 x 150 x 50mm and 6kg, the Planar 3 RS Editio maintains the Planar 3's celebrated compact footprint in this specific limited cosmetic treatment.

Sound and use context

Expect the accurate, purist character Rega's broader storied British catalogue is celebrated for, with the factory-matched RB330 tonearm and Nd5 cartridge delivering the Planar 3's celebrated musical, engaging presentation in this distinctive limited treatment.

Pairing

The pre-installed RB330 tonearm and Nd5 cartridge come factory-matched, requiring no separate tonearm or cartridge selection for immediate use.

Alternatives

Rega's broader Planar-series catalogue offers alternatives with different tonearm and cartridge combinations within the same broader catalogue.
