Rega Nd3 MM cartridge system

The all new Nd3 Moving Magnet cartridge system has been developed over a period of several years. The Nd range (patent pending) is, in our view, world leading in its use of ultra high performance neodymium magnets, allowing Rega to create a completely unique cartridge design. Each Nd cartridge is meticulously hand crafted by highly skilled Rega technicians and uses a brand new generator geometry with perfect symmetry to achieve highly precise channel balance.

Inspired by the design of the highly successful MC systems, the housings of the new Nd cartridges are made of glass-fibre reinforced polyphenylene sulphide (PPS). The most important feature here is the lightweight and highly rigid material with zero tolerance. The low weight of the cartridge reduces the load on the bearing of the tonearm and thus enables perfect tracking of your record. Each Nd system also has an optimised pole gap for superior linearity and crosstalk characteristics. They are equipped with miniaturised parallel coils that are wound internally with 38 micron wire and only 1275 turns. This results in low inductance and impedance of the cartridge and is characterised by a greatly improved reproduction in the high frequency range. The unique pivot pad design between the stylus housing of the Rega cartridges significantly improves the tracking capabilities.
