The sound performance of a vinyl playback system can be significantly improved when all unwanted resonances between the record and the platter can be reduced during playback. To enable this, record clamps and pucks are used to hold the record tightly against the platter.

Standard record pucks, that use only weight to pin the record down, can have two disadvantages:

  1. The weight can induce higher levels of rumble, when used with lower cost turntables which have smaller main bearings
  2. With fragile records, you could introduce an unwanted "warping" effect.

Pro-Ject's Clamp it record clamp is the preferred solution for audiophile playback.

The Clamp it is a stylish accessory that sits over the centre spindle of a turntable and uses pressure to hold a record against the platter. The simple screw mechanism also allows you to adjust the pressure applied, depending on the condition of your warped records.

Not only does Clamp it improve your listening experience, as its beautifully machined diamond-cut edges will also stand out on any turntable!

Mini Test - Record Clamps

"It may be lightweight, but its performance is certainly not. It does an admirable job of coupling the record to the platter. The Borodin is as exciting as ever, and with this recording and the JS Bach the soundstage feels significantly wider."

Record pucks and clamps achieve the same thing, using two different methods. Both work to create a stable connection between a vinyl record and the playing surface, eliminating slippage and increasing speed accuracy thanks to this greater bond with the rotating platform. Where they differ is that pucks generally achieve this with weight, being heavy (often metal) materials, they simply weigh down the label section of a record around the spindle. Record clamps however, work by being pushed down over the spindle and then screwed tight, internally a clamp is then tightened around the spindle, fixing the unit firmly in place.
