The Rega Audio ND3 Moving Magnet Cartridge represents a breakthrough in MM cartridge engineering, delivering next-level performance with innovative Neodymium (Nd N55) magnet technology—a world-first for moving magnet designs. Hand-built in the UK, the ND3 features a precision elliptical stylus on a titanium-bonded shank and a lightweight aluminum cantilever for exceptional detail retrieval, tracking accuracy, and low surface noise. Its new generator geometry with optimized pole gap improves linearity, channel balance, and crosstalk, producing a wider soundstage and better high-frequency response than previous models. The cartridge’s glass-filled PPS body is rigid and low-mass, reducing tonearm stress while enhancing musical precision. Miniaturized parallel coils wound with ultra-fine 38-micron wire deliver low inductance and low impedance, ensuring clarity and dynamics across all genres. Compatible with Rega’s 3-point mounting system, the ND3 is factory-fit available on the Planar 2 and Planar 3 and supported by Rega’s rebuild program for long-term value. A sustainable choice, the ND3 ships in 100% recyclable packaging.

- Nd Magnet technology
Often used in Moving Coil designs (including our own) we believe the Nd3 is the first moving magnet to utilise a Neodymium (Nd) N55 magnet. This is the world’s most powerful commercially available magnet and is a crucial component that makes this unique design possible by delivering extra power than standard bar magnet designs. - Glass filled PPS body
The complete assembly is housed in our zero tolerance Injection moulded glass filled polyphenylene sulphide body (PPS) which is a lightweight and highly rigid material. A low mass body reduces stress on the tonearm bearings and aids free movement which is critical in accurate vinyl replay. This new body design was inspired by our hugely successful MC range. - Cantilever & stylus profile
The Nd3 aluminium cantilever is fitted with a bonded precision elliptical stylus. This profile provides exceptional tracking accuracy and extracts great levels of detail from the vinyl surface. - Factory Fitted options
The Nd3 cartridge will be offered as a factory fitted option on the Planar 2 and Planar 3 turntables offering exceptional performance and value for these models. The factory fitted package is offered at a discounted rate compared to when purchased separately, ask your Rega dealer for details. - Rega rebuild scheme
The unique pivot pad design of Rega cartridges improves performance by eliminating the mechanical joint between the stylus housing and the main body. This vastly improves tracking ability and stability of the stylus. If you should damage or wear out your Rega cartridge, simply return it to you Rega dealer and they will supply you with a rebuild cartridge fitted with a new cantilever, stylus and pivot pad. Each rebuild is fully tested as a new cartridge would be. The rebuild is sold at a reduced price once you trade in your worn or damaged cartridge that is equivalent to a replacement stylus offered by other manufacturers. - Bonded elliptical profile stylus
