Design

The Exact shares the same body moulding
as the rest of the Rega cartridge range. This
is a one piece body and has no energy
sapping joints between the stylus mounting
and headshell contact face. The headshell
face is machined perfectly flat to ensure
maximum contact between cartridge and
headshell.

Coil Winding

Rega have designed and developed its own
coil winding machine. This allows us to
manufacture coils in a completely new and
innovative way. This means approximately
one third less wire is used than in our other
cartridges, making the Exact evenmore
efficient than the Super Elys.

Cantilever

The Super Elys has a highly expensive non
removable cantilever, fitted with a “Vital”
diamond tip. This tip fits into the record
groove more precisely than the usual
elliptical type, allowing more information to
be gleaned from the records.

Assembly

Because of the design and extremely high
tolerances of Rega cartridges, our assembly
methods owe more to watch making than
the assembly line. Every one is hand built,
and the highly skilled operatives use little
more than tweezers and microscopes. Each
cartridge is then adjusted and tested twice
over a 24 hour period.
Such methods are expensive and time
consuming but we feel the results are worth
it. We hope you do too.

This cartridge should be fitted by a
Rega dealer using specialist tools to
ensure the correct torque is applied.
