Rega Smoked Dustcover for the Planar 6 - Planar 1 Walnut - Planar 1+ Walnut and Planar 2 Walnut

The Rega Smoked Dustcover — Planar 6 and the Walnut Finishes

A tinted acrylic dust cover made by Rega, sold singly, for the Planar 6 and for the walnut versions of the Planar 1, Planar 1 Plus and Planar 2. The smoked finish is the point: it was chosen to sit with those decks rather than disappear against them.

Rega manufactures this one, so it fits the same part your turntable shipped with rather than approximating it. A cover cut to within a few millimetres of a plinth is a cover that rocks.

Fit and Materials

Which Turntables

It fits the Planar 6, and the walnut Planar 1, Planar 1 Plus and Planar 2. The finish is what ties that group together — a smoked cover reads as deliberate over walnut, where a clear one reads as an afterthought.

Why Smoked Rather Than Clear

Tinted acrylic cuts the amount of light reaching the record and the plinth, which matters if the turntable sits near a window. It also hides dust on the cover itself, which is where dust lands once you have one.

Who Is This Cover Best For?

• You own a Planar 6 — one of the four decks Rega lists for this cover
• Your Planar 1, 1 Plus or 2 is the walnut finish — the smoked cover was matched to it
• Your turntable gets direct sunlight — tinted acrylic cuts what reaches the plinth
• Your original went missing or broke — this is Rega's own part, not an approximation
• You want a clear cover instead — Rega makes those for other models, in dustcovers

How Do You Fit It?

Place it over the turntable; there is nothing to attach. Lift it straight up and off rather than sliding it, and set it somewhere it will not get knocked — acrylic scratches more easily than glass and does not polish out as forgivingly.

Pairs Well With

What most Rega owners keep alongside.

• Record brushes — a pass before each side, whatever the cover does
• Stylus cleaning — for the dust that reaches the stylus anyway
• Record mats — mat thickness affects the clearance under a cover
• Dustcovers — the rest of the range, by turntable

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit my turntable?

Rega lists the Planar 6 and the walnut Planar 1, Planar 1 Plus and Planar 2. Other Regas take their own covers.

How many do I need?

One, sold singly. It is a fitting rather than something that wears out.

Does the tint affect anything but looks?

It reduces the light reaching the turntable, which is useful near a window, and it hides dust settling on the cover itself.
