The Planar 6 builds on the great success of the RP8 and RP10 turntables. It is the first Rega record player that could be constructed with an ultra-light Tan-Cast 8 polyurethane foam base. This material is inserted between two layers of HPL. HPL is exceptionally thin, but extremely rigid. The Planar 6 has a new 24 V motor that is matched to the NEO power supply, which is also new. It uses the RP10 DSP (Digital Signal Processing Generator). The DSP generator also generates an almost perfect sinusoidal waveform and therefore excellent synchronization.
