Carbon Fibre Construction
The Naia Reference uses advanced carbon fibre construction to create a rigid yet lightweight platform for the tonearm and main bearing. The lightweight design helps minimise unwanted stored energy while maintaining the structural rigidity required for precise vinyl playback.
RB Titanium Tonearm
The RB Titanium tonearm is Rega's reference-level tonearm, engineered to provide exceptional rigidity and precise cartridge control. Its titanium construction complements the lightweight Naia platform and provides a highly stable interface between the cartridge and turntable.
Reference Power Supply
The supplied Reference power supply provides precision electronic control of the turntable's motor. It is designed to deliver stable platter rotation while allowing electronic selection of the available playback speeds.
Reference Platter
The Naia Reference incorporates a precision ceramic oxide platter designed for high rigidity, accurate rotation and stable record support. Its construction complements the low-mass architecture of the turntable.
Drive System
The turntable uses a precision belt-drive system with a Reference EBLT drive belt. The belt transfers motor rotation to the platter while helping isolate the platter from motor vibration.
