MOTOR
The motor is a high specification, 24V twin phase synchronous unit. It is controlled by
Rega's unique and innovative
RP10-PSU power supply. The motor drives the CNC
machined pulley, sub platter and hub-bearing assembly via the twin belt drive. Each
motor is individually hand tuned to its own custom power supply in the factory to
minimise vibration, motor noise and ensure optimum performance.
DE-COUPLED OUTER FRAME AND DUST COVER
A common problem for many skeletal design turntables is the inability to incorporate
an effective dust cover into the design. We have constructed an outer frame that
minimises contact between the inner and outer plinth. The only points of contact are
three location devices on the feet which centralises the inner and outer plinths
perfectly. This makes set-up extremely easy and allows the use of a dust cover. The
RP10 can be used without the outer frame if so desired.
RP10 CUSTOM - POWER SUPPLY
The speed and control is achieved by using a new DSP (digital signal processing)
generator built upon a high stability crystal. The device will divide the accurate square
wave from the crystal to the exact frequency required to turn the platter at the
selected speed. The DSP core will also generate a near perfect sinusoidal waveform to
power the motor. Factory set vibration and speed adjustments are then made to the
power supply to tune the motor for optimal performance.
