Rega Nd5

Rega ND5 - MM pickup with nude diamond stylus and unique generator

The Rega ND5 is an advanced Moving Magnet pickup, the result of decades of expertise in pickups. Combining advanced craftsmanship and groundbreaking technological innovations, the ND5 offers a sound experience that sets new standards in precision and sound reproduction. Here you get a pickup that is designed to deliver a larger soundstage, improved frequency response and unrivaled channel balance. The Rega ND5 is the ideal solution for those who want to take their music experience to the next level.

Perfect elliptical nude diamond stylus

One of the most striking features of the Rega ND5 is its perfect elliptical nude diamond stylus. The stylus is shaped using an advanced ellipse grinding process that creates a true ellipse. It is made from polycrystalline artificial diamond, ensuring exceptional durability and precision in sound reproduction. The special stylus profile allows it to track the grooves of the vinyl with incredible precision, resulting in a clear and detailed sound with minimal distortion.

Unique generator and optimized pole gap

The Rega ND5 features a newly developed generator geometry, designed with perfect symmetry. This symmetry ensures accurate channel balance, which is essential for achieving a precise and balanced sound. In addition, the pickup has an optimized pole gap, which improves linearity and reduces crosstalk. This results in a much wider soundstage compared to previous models, providing a more spacious and engaging listening experience.

Advanced coil technology

Another notable feature of the ND5 is its miniaturized parallel coils. These coils are meticulously hand-wound with 38-micron wire and consist of a whopping 1275 turns. This advanced winding technique reduces the inductance and impedance in the generator, leading to a significantly improved high-frequency response. The result is a pickup that manages to reproduce even the finest details in music with unprecedented clarity and precision.

High-Quality Construction and Sustainability

The Rega ND5 is not only technologically advanced; it is also built to last. It has a lightweight yet extremely rigid PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) housing, ensuring durability and minimal resonance. The aluminium cantilever further contributes to the high rigidity and precise tracking. The cartridge is equipped with Rega's well-known 3-point mounting system, which makes installation easy and ensures optimal mechanical contact with the tonearm.

As part of Rega's commitment to sustainability, the ND5 comes in 100% recyclable packaging, proving that high performance and environmental awareness can go hand in hand.

Lifetime warranty

The Rega ND5 comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected. This warranty supports Rega's commitment to delivering the highest quality products.
