Rega Atlas MK2 - Stylus Force Gauge

The Rega Atlas MK2 is designed to provide an exceptionally accurate, stable, and reliable way to measure cartridge stylus pressure. It was originally developed for Rega's own production needs when no sufficiently accurate and long-lasting solution could be found on the market. The result was a meter that combines laboratory-level precision with practical ease of use.

The updated MK2 version extends the measuring range up to 10 grams and improves both measurement accuracy and structural stability. The heart of the device is a CNC-machined aluminum body, which provides excellent mechanical stability and protects sensitive electronics.

The measurement is based on a high-quality load cell sensor that utilizes a full-bridge shear beam structure with temperature compensation. This solution offers excellent accuracy (±0.01 g), fast response, and long service life. The device also includes 20-gram overload protection.

The front protective cover and alignment aid make it easy to position the stylus precisely, and the measurement always takes place from the same reference point. The result appears on the display in a few seconds without waiting or complex adjustments.

The Audiophile Man describes the Atlas MK2 as a meter that exudes precision, stability, and quality finish. Audio Advisor praises its excellent accuracy and reliability and considers it one of the most reliable stylus pressure gauges on the market.
