We decided early on that instead of an evolution of the previous RP8, the new Planar 8 was to be developed and engineered to encapsulate the essence of 'Naiad' at an affordable price. Our aim was to deliver a level of performance far beyond what has been achieved at this price point before. Every aspect of the Planar 8 is engineered to extract as much detail from the vinyl surface as possible. We have used the most advanced materials and engineering solutions built around a supremely lightweight plinth to ensure the greatest level of performance." - 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>platter material: glass</li> <li>outputs: RCA phono</li> <li>removable RCA: yes</li> <li>dust cover: yes, hinged</li> <li>dimensions: 16.5" (w) x 4.9" (h) x 12.4" (d) / 420 x 315 x 125mm</li> <li>weight: 9.5 lb / 4.2 kg</li> </ul> <h4>📦 COMES WITH</h4> <ul> <li>dust cover</li> </ul>
