Setup and connections (make all connections before powering up)
Connect the supplied mains power lead to the socket marked ‘Power
In’ on the rear of the P10 PSU.
Connect the XLR interconnect from the rear of the turntable to the
socket marked ‘output’ on the rear of the P10 PSU. To minimise the
risk of hum pick up by the cartridge, the power supply should be
situated as far from the turntable as the interconnect cable will allow.
Connecting to the amplier
The tonearm external phono leads must be connected to a suitable
phono stage. Depending on the type of cartridge you have chosen, you
will require the appropriate moving magnet (MM) or moving coil (MC)

It is normal for the arm to swing back towards the arm clip position
even with the bias set at zero. Therefore it is advisable to gently hold
the arm bearing carrier (just below the tracking dial) thus preventing
horizontal movement during the balancing procedure.
Once the arm is balanced, rotate the tracking force adjustment dial to
the required tracking force. Numbers ‘0’ to ‘3’ are marked on the dial.
If in doubt, it is advisable to use a tracking force that corresponds with
the upper limits of the cartridge manufacturer’s range.

Use of mobile phone apps to check and adjust the speed
Rega, along with a London mastering studio, have used the iPhone
‘RPM’ app (available on the App Store) developed by Philip Broder to
check and adjust the speed of a turntable using the Neo, with positive

which could be caused by the age, condition, and operating system of

check the calibration of the ‘RPM’ app using a suitable reference.

Rega Strobe and stroboscopic disc (sold separately)
The best way to adjust the speed of your Planar 10 is to use the
Rega Stobe kit. A stroboscopic disc is an optical instrument used to
measure the speed of the turntable by freezing the bars on the disc.
The bars are illuminated by an accurate quartz locked LED pulsing at
100 Hz.
Using the Strobe kit
Simply place the strobe disc on the turntable platter. Switch on the
100 Hz LED and hold it approximately 2 cm above the rotating strobe.
If the bars do not appear to move and are stationary, the speed is

conversely, if they move anti-clockwise, the turntable is running slow.
If over one minute the bars appear to move by one bar to the left
or one bar to the right, the speed is 0.016% fast or slow respectively.
Using the speed control on the P10 PSU, it is possible to achieve
±0.05% or ±1.3 rpm.
Note: If over one minute the bars appear to move by two bars to
the left or by two bars to the right, the speed is 0.01 rpm fast or slow
respectively. Using the speed control on the P10 PSU, it is possible to
achieve ±0.01 rpm, which is one step of the speed adjustment.
Warning: Because of the nature of the stroboscopic effect of the
disc and the LED light, we strongly recommend anyone with photo-
induced epilepsy not to use this device. Although this condition is very
rare, we must make the user aware of this condition. Ask your dealer
for assistance if required.
Warnings
Do not unplug the P10 PSU from the turntable whilst the unit is on -
turn off the power supply before unplugging.
Do not operate the power supply without the turntable connected.
Never expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Do not open the case covers. There are no user serviceable parts
inside.
