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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Planar 8 will now ship with new look NEO MK2 power supply as standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e*New matt white finish available from April 2023 - The white Planar 8 is supplied with a clear dustcover and clear triple layer float glass platter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNovember 2025 update\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt; New factory fitted cartridge option available - Reference Nd9 moving magnet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEngineering masterclass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery 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. The Planar 8 is supplied with the new RB880 tonearm and Neo PSU as standard which offers electronic speed change, advanced anti-vibration control and user adjustable electronic fine speed adjustment to ensure total accuracy and control over the motor. The outer frame of the previous model has now been removed and a new stylish, removable, single piece dustcover has been introduced further reducing the overall mass of the turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRB880 precision tonearm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNd7 (MM), Nd9 (MM) Ania Pro (MC), Apheta 3 (MC) factory fitted options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper flywheel effect triple layer glass platter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble brace technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTancast 8 foam core plinth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom matched Neo PSU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference EBLT drive belt fitted as standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in two matt finishes, Polaris grey and white (new for 2023)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty against manufacture defects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n  .p8-spec-table {\n    width: 100%;\n    border-collapse: collapse;\n    border: none;\n    margin-bottom: 2em;\n  }\n  .p8-spec-table td {\n    padding: 8px 12px;\n    border: none;\n    vertical-align: top;\n  }\n  .p8-spec-table tr:nth-child(odd) td {\n    background-color: #ffffff;\n  }\n  .p8-spec-table tr:nth-child(even) td {\n    background-color: #b0b0b0;\n  }\n  .p8-spec-table td:first-child {\n    font-weight: 600;\n    width: 50%;\n  }\n  .p8-pic-table {\n    width: 100%;\n    border-collapse: collapse;\n    border: none;\n    table-layout: fixed;\n  }\n  .p8-pic-table td {\n    width: 50%;\n    padding: 0;\n    border: none;\n    vertical-align: top;\n  }\n  .p8-pic-table td img {\n    display: block;\n    width: 100%;\n    height: auto;\n  }\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"p8-spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSelectable Speed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 1\/3 rpm, 45 rpm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanar 8 Turntable Dimensions (with dustcover fitted) (W x H x D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e420 x 125 x 315 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeo PSU Dimensions (W x H x D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180 x 50 x 155 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTurntable Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.2 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeo PSU Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.6 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"p8-pic-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Rega","offers":[{"title":"None","offer_id":39716856791134,"sku":"","price":59900.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Planar 8+ ND7","offer_id":41829742313566,"sku":null,"price":69900.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Planar 8+ Apheta 3","offer_id":39716872290398,"sku":"","price":89900.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2577\/1494\/files\/p8_3.png?v=1789137728","url":"https:\/\/www.ultrasound.co.za\/products\/rega-planar-8-turntable","provider":"Ultra Sound \u0026 Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
