Metal weight with felt covered base to protect the record label. Available in colours silver and black.

Measurements: approx. 78 mm Ø x 25 mm, weight approx. 760 grams

Take care that the platter bearing of your turntable is able to accept the additional weight of 760 g. If in any doubt please consult your record player instructions or your dealer before buying or using this weight.

Any vibrations in the record during playback will be picked up by the cartridge and reproduced by the amplifier and speakers causing muddy sound, distortion and reduced detail. In order to avoid record vibrations you must make certain that the contact between the record and the platter is perfect. The record clamp presses the record flat against the platter. Put the record on the turntable and then put the clamp on the spindle, press down and turn the knob to tighten. The weight of the clamp is minimal so it can be used on any record player with a fixed spindle.

Also many older records are warped. Some more, some less. This causes problems for the stylus to track the grooves properly. The stylus pressure fluctuates as the stylus moves up and down while trying to track the warps. With bad results: muddy sound reproduction with distortions and if the turntables drive isn’t really strong… audible flutter. In some cases the stylus may actually lose contact with the groove causing a hissing sound. Using the clamp it will press the record onto the turntable platter, the problematic surface will be flattened now, while you play the record causing a dramatic improvement of the reproduced sound on old records.
