Rega Strobe Kit
Item #REGA:STROBE
Overview
This accessory is 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 disc.
Simply place the supplied stroboscopic disc directly on the turntable mat. With the player running at 33 1/3 RPM hold the strobe LED directly above the lines to evaluate the speed of the turntable.
How to use the Rega strobe:
- With your turntable rotating and the speed set at 331/3 RPM, place the stroboscopic disc over the
record spindle directly onto your turntable mat. - Hold the strobe approximately 2-3 centimeters from the lines on the disc.
- If the lines freeze and remain stable, this indicates the turntable is running at the correct speed.
- If the lines on the disc are moving slowly clockwise, this indicates the turntable is running fast.
- If the lines on the disc are moving slowly anticlockwise, this indicates the turntable is running slow.
- 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. - If your turntable or power supply are adjustable, you can correct the speed of the turntable until the
lines are stable.
