About
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 Brace Technology)
“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.
