Planar 6 Construction
The Planar 6 uses an ultra-lightweight Tancast 8 foam-core plinth combined with high-pressure laminate skins. Its double-brace structure reinforces the critical areas around the tonearm and main bearing while maintaining a lightweight, rigid platform.
Platter & Drive System
A dual-layer float-glass platter provides a stable record-supporting surface. The supplied Reference EBLT drive belt transfers motor rotation to the platter system and is designed for accurate and consistent rotational performance.
Phono Pre-Amplifier Required
The Planar 6 does not include a built-in phono stage. The supplied Nd5 is a moving magnet cartridge, so the turntable requires an external MM phono pre-amplifier or an amplifier/receiver with a dedicated MM phono input.
