Tonar Record Weight / Puck (Silver)

The tonar 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 en 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 of the older manufactured records are warped. Some more, some less. This causes big problems for the diamond stylus of the cartridge 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 loose contact with the groove causing a hissing sound. Using the Tonarclampit will press the record onto the turntable platter, the problematical surface will be flattened now, while you play the record causing a dramatic improvement of the reproduced sound on old records.

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 by the cartridge and will be reproduced by the amplifier and speakers causing muddy sound, distortion and reduce detail. In order to avoid record vibrations you must make certain that the contact between the record and the platter is perfect.

Acoustic feedback is one of the big problems when playing records. The cause is the sound that has just been produced by the speakers which comes back to the record player and cause it to vibrate.

The problems is that there is a very slight time difference between the reproduced sound and the sound that is fed back onto the record player. This results in a big loss of detail and clarity and makes the sound “muddy”. So every effort has to be done to isolate the record player from its surroundings as well as to isolate the record from the record player.

In order to reduce acoustic feedback from the surroundings back to the record and the cartridge a lot of effort has gone into developing turntable mats that make the reproduced sound crystal clear with great separation and detail. This has been done by experimenting with various materials which absorb unwanted vibrations which were not present in the original recording.

Now many people are trying to combine these different materials as a sandwich at the same time in order to reach better results. Now Tonar offers you this opportunity to experiment yourself but at modest pricing. In order to enhance the better contact between the record and the mat, the center part – with the dimensions of the label have been recessed to accommodate the thicker label part.

The mat is made of a combination of felt mixed with carbon fibers. The felt cushions the record and damps the vibrations caused by acoustic feedback to the record players from the speakers and other external vibrations.

The mat is 2 mm thick. The carbon fibers collect the static charge from the record and conduct it back to earth due to the contact with the center spindle as well as with the platter.

Tonar NoStatic carbon impregnated turntable mat. Combination of wool and carbon to reduce static from LPs, resulting in a lower noise floor on playback. The Tonar Nostatic mat is 2mm thick & will not affect VTA , Prevents build up of static on your LP''s. Can be used in conjunction with other mats or on it''s own.

If you are having issues with static this mat will help to stop static build up.Problems with static, especially with brand new records. When you lift a record to turn it over at the end of a side would your old felt mat clean off the platter, and the record would be heavily charged with static. No static charge at all!

Straight Tonearm Design
The straight, aluminum tonearm is designed to boost traceability for stable playback with clear sound and powerful bass.

Thick Dust Cover
The dust cover is engineered to muffle acoustic pressure from your speakers to help enhance stability and reduce distortion. You can also remove the dust cover, if you prefer.

Stable Aluminum Platter
The aluminum die-cast platter is designed to be robust, yet lightweight, so it can stay stable as it rotates for clear playback.

Hidden 45 rpm Adapter
The 45 rpm adapter is stored in a slot beneath the deck, so it can be hidden away when not in use.

The turntable features an S-shaped tonearm with adjustable tracking force and an AT-HS6 universal 1/2"-mount headshell with an AT-VM95E Dual Magnet™ phono cartridge. Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 50 years, and that expertise shows in the versatile, high-performance AT-VM95E cartridge, which comes with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus, but is also compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application.

The Rubber Platter Mat gives a noticeable boost to your systems sound.

Acoustic feedback is one of the big problems when playing records, as is 'ringing' from the turntable platter. There is a very slight time difference between the reproduced sound 'hitting' the record, that is then fed back through the stylus, plus micro-vibration from platter resonances.

These both result in a big loss of detail and clarity that can make the sound “muddy” and often thin sounding. Isolating the record from its surroundings as well as from the record player itself does improve sound quality.

The turntable includes a straight aluminum tonearm with adjustable tracking force and an AT-HS4 universal 1/2"-mount headshell with an AT-VM95C Dual Moving Magnet phono cartridge. Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 50 years, and that expertise shows in the versatile, high-performance AT-VM95C cartridge, which comes with a 0.6 mil conical stylus, but is also compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application.
