Rega Strobe Kit

Rega Strobe Kit

The Rega Strobe Kit is an accessory designed to evaluate the speed of any turntable. The hand-held strobe unit generates a 100 Hz pulsed light source for use with the supplied 180-line stroboscopic disk. Rega has also made a product called the Neo PSU; this will pair perfectly with the strobe kit. Using this kit is very simple, simply place the supplied stroboscopic disc directly on the turntable mat. With the turntable running at 33 1/3 RPM, hold the strobe LED directly above the lines to evaluate the speed of the turntable.

Here's how to use and understand all the key features of Rega's Strobe Kit:

• Hold the strobe approximately 2-3 centimetres from the lines on the disc
• if the lines freeze and remain stable, this indicates that the turntable is running at the correct speed.
• if the lines on the disc are slowly moving clockwise, this indicates that your turntable is running too fast
• if the lines on the disc are moving slowly anticlockwise, this indicates that your turntable is running too slow
• if your turntable or power supply is adjustable, you can correct the speed of the turntable until the lines are stable

Tip: To ensure an accurate reading it is recommended to hold a reference point such as a pencil tip near the lines during rotation to easily identify if the lines are stable or rotating.

(The supplied 9 V battery is pre-installed)
