Self-Securing Brass Bearing: A new 11mm central bearing design improves fit and reduces stress, preventing unwanted energy transfer.

A Heritage of Precision

The Planar 2 carries the legacy of Rega's most iconic designs while pushing the boundaries of modern performance. Developed in tandem with the legendary Planar 3, it shares a commitment to engineering excellence. The centerpiece is the RB220 tonearm, a marvel of precision that extracts incredible detail from the record groove. Combined with the new low-noise motor and self-securing central bearing, the entire system works in quiet harmony, creating a stable platform for your vinyl to reveal its true sonic potential. It's a turntable that respects the music, and it shows.

Elegance in Motion

From the moment you see it, the Planar 2 commands attention. The 10mm 'Optiwhite' float glass platter doesn't just improve performance; it creates a stunning visual centerpiece. The high-gloss acrylic laminated plinth, available in multiple finishes, is both beautiful and functional, providing a rigid, low-resonance base for the key components. Every aspect, from the feel of the tonearm lift to the clean, minimalist lines, has been considered. It’s a turntable that looks as good as it sounds, adding a touch of timeless class to any room.

The Sound of Progress

The sonic performance of the Planar 2 is where it truly excels. It delivers an authoritative and engaging sound that is rhythmically precise and wonderfully agile. The timing is impeccable, creating an irresistible groove that pulls you into the heart of the music. Dynamics are handled with a maturity that is rare at this level, from the quietest passages to the most powerful crescendos. It’s a sound that is both detailed and coherent, faithfully communicating the emotion and energy of the original performance, making every listening session a captivating event.
