Rega Exact 2 Phono Cartridge

The three-point system ensures the cartridge is perfectly aligned and rigidly fixed to the tonearm headshell. This design eliminates the need for complex manual alignment tools and maximizes the structural integrity between the cartridge and the arm for better vibration control.

While the three-point mounting system is optimized for Rega tonearms, it can be used on other turntables if the headshell allows for standard mounting. However, you will lose the alignment benefits of the three-point design, and you may need to use standard hardware.

The Vital stylus is a complex fine-line profile that reaches deeper into the record groove than standard elliptical styli. This allows it to extract more high-frequency detail and provide better tracking accuracy, resulting in a clearer, more immersive soundstage.

No, the Exact 2 is a moving magnet (MM) cartridge with a standard output of 7.0 mV. It is designed to work perfectly with any standard MM phono input on your amplifier or external phono stage.

The recommended tracking force is 1.75 grams. It is important to set this accurately using a stylus pressure gauge to ensure the best tracking performance and to protect your vinyl records from unnecessary wear.

The Exact 2 features higher-specification internal coils and a more sophisticated Vital stylus profile compared to Rega’s entry-level models. These upgrades provide significantly better channel balance, improved stereo imaging, and a more natural, dynamic presentation of the music.
