The clever use of a lightweight solid core with a high-rigidity phenolic resin shell was the basis for the high level of performance achieved in the now iconic original Planar series. The new Planar 3 takes this design philosophy to the next level. The lightweight acrylic laminated plinth, reinforced with a new and improved system of double braces positioned precisely where increased rigidity is required (between the tonearm mount and the main hub bearing), forms a structurally sound "tension beam" assembly. This rigid plinth design prevents energy absorption and unwanted resonances that introduce unnatural distortion into music. At the same time, a heavier mass can transfer more unwanted energy, such as motor or bearing noise, directly to the spinning plate. Using brackets instead of a solid skin allows the use of double-thickness phenolic resin in these key areas, providing additional mass reduction to the plinth, which directly addresses the problem of mass absorption and unwanted energy transfer.
Tonearm
The RB330 tonearm was designed using the latest 3D CAD and CAM technologies and is the culmination of over 35 years of tonearm design experience. Featuring an all-new bearing housing and an all-new tonearm tube designed using intelligent mass redistribution, this arm has fewer potential resonance points. Exceptional stability and virtually frictionless motion thanks to new precision bearing assemblies ensures you capture more information from your vinyl than ever before.
