Ask a question about the Rega Planar 1
Rega Planar 1
The Rega Planar 1 combines easy set up with precise audio handling, making it the perfect turntable for those starting to get back into vinyl or anyone picking up a record for the first time.
Top Features
Updated design features Rega's EBLT belt found in their higher-end Planar 6 model. This belt offers greater accuracy and improved speed performance.
The new RB110 tonearm is complete with high precision bearings, a new 111g ‘Plug & Play’ balance weight and automatic bias adjustment, reducing friction and ensuring the tonearm is set and ready to use when you first get it out of the box, no balancing the counterweight or anti-skate.
The Planar 1 also boasts Rega’s Carbon Cartridge as standard and a re-designed headshell which is both stiffer & more ergonomic for improved styling and function.

Rega Planar 1 Pros & Cons
Pros
Cons
Rega Heritage
Iconic Design
You can see the expert craftsmanship that shines through Rega’s legacy as a turntable specialist.
The thermoset, laminated plinth is understated but stylish, newly available in both Matt Black and Matt White. Rega have removed the ‘fuss’, with just the platter and tonearm visible on the plinth & the power switch is neatly hidden.
The 23mm, higher mass, phenolic platter has an improved flywheel effect which improves speed stability, minimises friction and ensures that the audio is true to the artist’s intention.
Specially designed feet increase stability to reduce vibration transfer. A dust cover is included, featuring an intuitive hinged design to make it unobtrusive but protective.
Plug & Play Performance
Simple, No-Fuss Setup
All you need to do is slide the counterweight onto the tonearm to the maximum distance, remove the guard from the stylus, connect to your speaker or amp and enjoy the crackle of your favourite vinyls!
The Planar 1 requires an external pre-amp, but this allows you the flexibility to use any pre-amp and upgrade this as you go if required. We recommend checking out our Planar 1 pre-amp bundle for the whole package.

Similar Turntables
Rega Planar 1 Plus
Same specs as the Planar 1 with a pre-amp inbuilt into the unit for complete convenience.
Pro-Ject T1
Pro-Ject's T1 rivals the Rega Planar 1 in terms of plug 'n' play functionality. You can expect equally impressive value for money with a touch more design flair and a marginally easier setup.
How To Use
The Planar range can be connected to a variety of speakers and amplifiers, making it versatile to your needs.
We love the ease of an active speaker like the Sonos Five and Marshall Stanmore III, allowing you to plug and play. You can also access other content easily through music streaming and digital radio.
The purists amongst us may appreciate an Amp and Hifi Speaker set up more and the Planar range is sure to accommodate your needs. Check out the Sonos Amp or Rega IO amp for further inspiration.
