REGA Atlas

ATLAS MK2 The Rega Atlas Tracking Force Gauge MK2 is designed to be easy to use, consistent and exceptionally accurate. Our engineers have meticulously selected each component to offer the highest possible performance. The Atlas was born out of frustration having used so many outsourced gauges in our tonearm production areas over the years for them to consistently fail after minimal use. The re-designed MK2 version now offers a much wider weight range to deal with the more extreme cartridges on the market (up to 10g). Our engineers have also improved stability and sensitivity to ensure total accuracy every time. The Atlas is designed to provide reliable and accurate measurement of tracking force for the lifetime of your turntable. Inside the durable aluminium, casework is a highly stable loadcell and precision amplification circuitry. There is also a custom-designed front guard to protect the measuring element and provide easy alignment. This allows the Atlas to achieve accurate and reliable performance with minimal input from the user. The loadcell is a premium full bridge, shear beam construction. The cell is temperature compensated for a wide range of operating temperatures and is extremely resilient to shocks and deterioration over time. The intelligent design of the Atlas ensures the tracking force is measured in the same place every time allowing for very fine adjustment to two decimal places.     REVIEW & AWARDS Rega Atlas Tracking Force Gauge: Keeping the Pressure On - Read More "Another issue you may want to consider is, will you ever upgrade in the future? Will you upgrade the cartridge? The arm? The turntable? Also, even though you might set up your turntable correctly, over time, components can ‘creep’ (or move if knocked) which means that periodic downforce checking for possible tweaking is recommended. The decision is, of course, your own. For those who want the best, though, the Rega Atlas stands high among the available contenders."    Rega Atlas stylus force gauge  - Read More "Where the gauge does come into its own is if you regularly swap cartridges, while the high-quality construction means that it should last a very long time. This is a useful and accurate force gauge and the ideal accessory for any vinyl fan that enjoys tweaking with their setup"      SPECIFICATIONS Accuracy +/-0.01 grams Range 0.5 - 10 grams Safe Overload 0.5 - 10 grams Supply 9V PP3 cell
