Rega Matt Planar 1 Plus - Turntable with In-built Phono Stage
Brand New Entry-level Turntable
The Rega Matt Planar 1 Plus turntable is an update on the incredible Planar 1 Plus, launched in 2016. The Matt Planar 1 Plus features the same ground-breaking design for an entry-level turntable. Now, it comes with a new matt-finish design, available in black or white. It also comes with Rega’s new EBLT drive belt.
Built-in Phono Stage
The built-in phono stage is a high specification pre-amplifier that allows the Rega Matt Planar 1 Plus to be plugged directly into any normal line-level input. For example, a standard phono input on an amplifier or even the 3.5mm connection on the back of a Sonos Play:5 Gen 2.
This phono stage is designed to amplify the signal from a moving magnet cartridge to all line level inputs of an any sound system or audio amplifier. As a result, this allows simple connection to a wide variety of products using either the standard twin phono to phono lead (supplied) or phono to 3.5 mm plug (not supplied). No other pesky boxes or additional cables required!
The addition of a quality phono stage makes the Planar 1 Plus a great turntable for use with Sonos and other popular sound systems in a neat, sleek and one-box package.

Tonearm
The RB110 tonearm is a unique design featuring zero play bearings and helps to provide a very low friction performance. The RB110 adjusts bias automatically. As a result, this helps make the Planar 1 Plus the most ‘Plug & Play’ turntable Rega have ever manufactured. The tonearm also features an ergonomically re-designed stiffer head shell that allows for improved usability and appearance.
Cartridge Design
Rega’s Carbon cartridge is supplied fitted as standard and ready to use. A perfect fit that works seamlessly with the Planar 1 Plus. The Carbon’s stylus can be easily exchanged after a few years of use, without the need for screw drivers, pliers or rebalancing.
24v synchronous motor
The Rega Planar 1 Plus uses a 24v, synchronous AC motor with a motor PCB and aluminium pulley offering low noise and better speed stability.
Plinth
Thermoset, gloss laminated plinth with vastly improved appearance and new ergonomically positioned on/off switch located on the underside. Two stunning plinth finishes available, gloss black and gloss white.
Central Bearing Housing
Re-designed brass main bearing, offering improved fit and removing stress on the bearing itself whilst minimising the transfer of potential energy.
