Rega Research presents the new Planar 6 RS Edition, which it describes as a premium turntable combining high-quality technology with the classic minimalist Rega design. With its ultra-lightweight, extremely rigid Tancast 8 chassis, precise RB880 tonearm, and new Nd9 MM cartridge, the RS Edition sets new sound standards in its class, while also being a ready-to-play, easy-to-use turntable.
A manually tuned 24-volt motor, a CNC-machined double pulley, and two EBLT reference belts ensure maximum smoothness and excellent speed stability. For music lovers seeking uncompromising performance in an elegant, living room-friendly design, the Planar 6 RS Edition is the perfect choice.
The Planar 6 RS Edition is constructed by Rega Research engineers around a unique, ultra-lightweight plinth with a foam core and HPL laminates. It is designed to deliver performance that is unmatched in this price range. The Planar 6 RS Edition comes factory-equipped with the RB880 tonearm. The platter is made of ultra-rigid double-layer float glass. The included Neo turntable power supply offers easy speed selection, advanced anti-vibration control, and electronic speed fine-tuning.
The Planar 6 RS Edition therefore features an external power supply, and Rega includes the updated Neo Mk2 power supply as standard with the Planar 6 RS Edition. A smoked glass dust cover is also included. Together with the Nd9 cartridge, this results in a ready-to-play and easy-to-operate turntable consisting of carefully matched components.
Delivery of the Rega Planar 6 RS Edition is expected to start in the course of May 2026.
