The Rega RP6 Turntable
The RP6 has been designed and engineered to achieve outstanding
performance way beyond the expectations of a product at this price
point. Excellent build quality, reliability and ease of use combine
to make a product which, if used correctly, will offer you a lifetime
of musical enjoyment. Omitting unnecessary gimmicks allows us to
concentrate the manufacturing costs on the high quality parts necessary
to reproduce music accurately. The RP6 is fitted with a hand assembled
RB303 tonearm, precision main bearing and a low vibration low noise
24v motor assembly which is individually hand tuned to its circuit
to further reduce vibration. The minimalist design of the Rega RP6
and the use of extremely high quality components ensure that your
turntable should last for many years.
RB303 Tonearm
Designed using the latest 3D CAD technology the new RB303 is the
culmination of more than 30 years of tonearm design experience.
Due to advances in technology we have been able to fine tune the
iconic RB300 tonearm design. Featuring a brand new tube which has
increased rigidity to the bearing housing, arm carrier and headshell
coupled with intelligent redistribution of mass, ensure this arm
will exhibit fewer points of possible resonance. Extreme stability
with almost friction free movement from the high precision bearing
assemblies guarantee to gather more information from your vinyl
than ever before.
TTPSU power supply (pictured below)
The compact TT-PSU uses a high stability crystal locked low distortion
sine wave generator. This, along with an efficient drive amplifier
fed from a stabilised DC power supply, generates a 24V AC balanced
signal of less than 0.05% distortion, which is completely un-affected
by any changes in the mains/line voltage and conditions. This then
drives the improved Rega anti-vibration circuit built into the RP6
motor PCB.
Platter adaptor
The aluminium top hub adaptor is manufactured to the highest tolerance
and uses a six point mounting system to ensure the platter and vinyl
is presented as flat as possible to the stylus.
NEW DB Technology (Double BraceTechnology)
“Mass absorbs energy - lost energy equals lost music”!
Rega has pioneered the use of lightweight rigid plinths. Clever
use of lightweight particulate core with a highly rigid phenolic
resin skin became the foundations of the high level of performance
achieved by the now iconic Planar turntable range. The latest generation
of Rega turntables takes this design philosophy to the next level.
A super lightweight plinth combined with a phenolic resin double
brace mounted specifically where the increased rigidity is required
(between the tonearm mounting and the main hub bearing) forms a
structurally sound “stressed beam” assembly. This rigid
plinth design prevents energy absorption and unwanted resonances
which will add unnatural distortions to the music. Equally, heavier
mass can transfer more unwanted energy such as motor or bearing
noise directly into the rotating record. The use of braces instead
of the complete skin allows double thickness phenolic resin in these
key areas while providing further weight reduction to the plinth
which directly addresses the issue of mass absorption and unwanted
energy transmission.
16MM Glass flywheel platter
The RP6 features an innovative two piece platter design constructed
from float glass. Manufactured using a complex and labour intensive
invisible UV curing bond technique the secondary ring platter is
permanently bonded to the underside of the main platter. The extra
ring adds mass to the outer circumference which increase the natural
flywheel effect of the platter improving speed stability, accuracy
and consistency.
24V Low noise motor
The motor is a high specification, 24V twin phase synchronous unit
which has the anti vibration circuit hand tuned to each motor and
is controlled by Rega's unique and innovative TTPSU power supply.
The motor drives the CNC machined pulley and sub platter/hub-bearing
assembly via the belt drive.
