Plinth & Construction
The Planar 6 uses a lightweight high-rigidity plinth designed to minimise unwanted energy storage. Its structural bracing reinforces the critical area between the tonearm and main bearing while maintaining the low-mass design philosophy of the turntable.
Phono Pre-Amplifier Required
The Planar 6 does not include a built-in phono stage. The supplied Ortofon 2M Blue is an MM cartridge, so the turntable must be connected to an external MM phono pre-amplifier or an amplifier/receiver with a dedicated MM phono input.

Connectivity
The tonearm provides the cartridge's analogue phono signal through the turntable's phono leads. The signal should be connected to an appropriate MM phono stage before being sent to a standard line-level input on an amplifier.
