The all new Nd3 moving magnet cartridge was developed over 10 years and promises to deliver 'next level' performance from moving magnet technology. The Nd range (patent pending) Rega believes is a world first to use ultra-high powered Neodymium magnets which allow Rega to create this totally unique design.
Advanced Technology — Each Nd3 is meticulously hand-made by Rega's highly skilled technicians. The stylus profile is a high quality elliptical profile manmade polycrystalline diamond, which is bonded to a round titanium shank. The design uses brand new generator geometry with perfect symmetry to achieve accurate channel balance. The Nd3 also has an optimised pole gap for superior linearity and cross talk characteristics, this provides a far wider soundstage than the previous models. This new cartridge is created with miniaturised parallel coils which are wound in house utilising 38-micron wire with just 1275 turns. This produces a low inductance, low impedance generator giving vastly improved high frequency response. In keeping with Rega's commitment to sustainability, the Nd range is supplied in 100% recyclable packaging.
Nd Magnet technology — Often used in Moving Coil designs (including Rega's own) Rega believes the Nd3 is the first moving magnet to utilise a Neodymium (Nd) N55 magnet. This is the world's most powerful commercially available magnet and is a crucial component that makes this unique design possible by delivering extra power than standard bar magnet designs.
