Rega RB220 Tonearm

Rega RB220 Tonearm

The handcrafted Rega RB220 tonearm uses the newly designed arm tube and the current three-point arm system, which achieves a better sound. For its price point, the RB220 achieves extremely low friction levels, which also meets the minimum mass requirements. Due to the low friction levels, many parts of the arm are very fragile and, therefore need to be handled with care.

Key Features

• Custom one-piece, aluminium arm tube
• Three-point arm mounting system
• Meticulously hand assembled
• Extremely low friction levels
• Simple setup
• Adjustable bias
• Lifetime warranty against manufacture defects

The RB220 uses our custom one-piece, aluminium arm tube, carefully manufactured to optimise performance and reduce stress on the Rega-designed ultra-low friction polymer bearings (patent pending). Each tonearm is meticulously hand-assembled using custom Rega-made tools and torque settings to guarantee optimum performance. This level of care ensures perfect tracking and maximises the amount of information the cartridge can extract from the record surface.

The latest version of RB220 now has adjustable bias allowing greater compatibility with a wider range of cartridges. The Rega-designed bias / anti-skate system will adjust the amount of bias as the tonearm tracks the record ensuring even tracking throughout playback.
