Rega Strobe and stroboscopic disc (sold separately)
The best way to adjust the speed of your Planar 8 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

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

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.
