Our 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 original Planar range. The new Planar 3 RS Edition takes this design philosophy to the next level using a High Pressure Laminate, (HPL) usually reserved for the Planar 6, Planar 8 and Planar 10 models for increased rigidity. In addition, this premium HPL has a stunning brushed metal dark aluminium skin with a beautiful satin finish. You will also find our double brace system mounted specifically where the increased rigidity is required (between the tonearm mounting and the main hub bearing) which forms a structurally sound 'stressed beam' assembly." - Rega</p> <h4>🔑 KEY FEATURES</h4> <ul> <li>motor type: belt-drive</li> <li>operation type: fully manual</li> <li>phono preamp: n/a</li> <li>speeds: 33 RPM, 45 RPM</li> <li>tonearm shape: straight</li> <li>counterweight setting: yes</li> <li>anti-skate setting: yes</li> <li>VTA / height adjustment: n/a</li> <li>detachable headshell: n/a</li> <li>body material: MDF wood</li> <li>platter material: glass</li> <li>outputs: RCA phono</li> <li>removable RCA: yes</li> <li>dust cover: yes, hinged</li> <li>dimensions: 17.5" (w) x 4.5" (h) x 14" (d) / 447 x 117 x 360m</li> <li>weight: 13 lb / 6 kg</li> </ul> <h4>📦 COMES WITH</h4> <ul> <li>pre-mounted cartridge</li> <li>dust cover</li> </ul>
