Adevarata legenda vie a pietei Hi-Fi europene si mondiale, Rega, este prezenta de acum si in Romania,
datorita parteneriatului cu STEREO PLANET.
Recunoscuta pentru calitatea impecabila a produselor sale, Rega isi selecteaza foarte riguros partenerii.
Este unul din putinele Brand-uri care-si permit sa-si selecteze Distribuitorii dupa criterii legate atat de
competitivitatea acestora pe pietele in care
activeaza cat si legate de calitatea oamenilor si principiilor din spatele acestor Distribuitori.
Tocmai de aceea, NE ONOREAZA acest parteneriat.
New output amplifier
Developed by our engineers a newly designed output amplifier using a low source impedance emitter
follower Class A driver stage.
Based around a complementary pair of 150w Sanken Darlington output transistors, this combination
forms a complementary emitter follower emulating Class A conditions with good thermal stability and
lower standing currents in the driver stage.
Improved power supplies
During the Brio-R design process Rega reviewed the circuit and improved the low and high current
power supplies, coupling and bypass capacitors.
The phono stage has been improved to reflect the current improvements in the Rega Planar turntables,
where the input sensitivity has been increased along with a revision of the sub 100Hz part of the phono frequency response.
Remote Control
Remote control has been added to the Brio-R without compromising the sonic design of the amplifier.
This was achieved by keeping the remote circuit separate to the audio circuit and having its own dedicated power supply.
There is no direct contact between the micro-controller and the signal path, the micro-controller
controls the relays whilst the volume control motor uses DC control voltages.
Custom Case & Design
Housed in a brand new custom case the Brio-R draws on the pedigree of the previous three incarnations of this model.
The sonic recipe for the Brio-R embodies the best in traditional audio circuits with excellent engineering practice.
High quality components
The Brio-R utilises the highest quality components and our engineers’ experience to achieve the best sonic performance.
Ensuring it is the most advanced and feature packed Brio to date.
Apollo-R
Design technology
The Apollo-R is the result of many years of innovation, advanced software development and elegant engineering solutions researched by our
highly skilled team of engineers and designers.
It took the completion of two of our multi award winning products, the flagship Isis CD player and the Rega DAC to pave the way for a unique
product we feel encapsulates everything the new Apollo-R should be.
Design history
The original Apollo CD player launched in 2005.
It was a huge success selling approaching 20,000 units worldwide.
The Apollo was a unique player featuring Rega’s own software and control system ensuring no other manufacturers player could sound the same.
This key element is carried forward and improved into Apollo-R.
Analogue & digital outputs
Development of the analogue, digital and control domains ensured direct improvements of both analogue and digital outputs making the Apollo-R
a perfect partner for the Rega Brio-R amplifier and an ideal "CD format" front-end for the Rega DAC.
The Apollo-R internal circuitry has also been improved by tightening the PCB layout.
Compact case design
Apollo-R is a top loading design housed in a custom compact aluminium case matching the Rega DAC and Brio-R amplifier.
The Apollo-R is available in both black or satin silver finish.
Dedicated CD mini system remote control
A new dedicated CD remote handset is supplied as standard which also has the advantage of Rega amplifier functionality .
Digital to analogue conversion
The DAC and the output amplifier of the Apollo-R have been enhanced using the Wolfson WM8742 digital to analogue converter,
the same integrated circuit found in the Rega DAC.
Power supplies
The "digital" power supplies feeding the CD processor, optical block, laser diode amplifier and slicer have been enhanced.
This is achieved by using the same high performance low noise power supplies found in the same location within the Isis CD player.
This vastly improves the playability, error correction and the "inner core" processing of the digital CD "spinner" part of the Apollo-R.
Output amplifier
The discrete output amplifier has been tweaked to reduce the overall THD from typically 0.005% to 0.0025%, whilst at the same time improving
the overall sound quality of the output amplifier.
User interface
We have improved the user interface control by using a dedicated display microprocessor, which eases the workload on the main control
processors giving an improvement in the control code stability, usability and improved speed of initialisation of the disc being played which
now matches that of the Isis CD player.
