Record Doctor Record Clamp - Low Profile, Black-Silver, Demo

"It's a Great Little Solution to a Need Many of Us Have"

Fits Where Other Record Clamps Dare Not Go

If your turntable dust cover doesn't have enough height to accommodate most record clamps, we've got great news. The new Record Doctor Low Profile Record Clamp is only 1.1" tall. It fits were other record clamps dare not go! Be sure to measure the clearance between your LP record and turntable dustcover before ordering to ensure a proper fit.

"It Just Works"

"It's a great little solution to a need many of us have," says Rick Coste in a January 2024 review of the Record Doctor Low Profile Record Clamp on his "The Joy of Vinyl Records" YouTube series. "What it does is it stabilizes the record to the platter. It's all about reducing vibrations, and your stylus is incredibly sensitive to vibrations… And if your stylus wasn't prone to picking up every little vibration, you wouldn't enjoy your musical experience as much."

Rick likes the light weight of the Record Doctor clamp compared to heavier clamps he owns. "And if you're worried about your record label after the clamp is in place, it has a little soft lining on the outer rim to keep the label safe."

It can be great for warped records too. "While a really bad record warp is a no-go when it comes to playback, one of those concave warps, where you're basically flattening out the record and tightening it up, so it's a nice flat record with no vibrations." Summing up the Record Doctor Low Profile Record Clamp," Rick reports, "It just works."

Tightly Bonds the Vinyl Record to the Platter

The Record Doctor Low Profile Record Clamp is a useful accessory for vinyl LP fans and audiophiles alike who want to extract maximum performance from their records. It tightly bonds the vinyl record to the platter, holding the record firmly in place and improving sound by reducing LP slippage and unwanted resonances. The effect is especially helpful when playing record where bass vibrations or high frequency resonances are an issue, when playing slightly warped records, or when recording your vinyl to a digital computer file. Also, due to increased LP stability, a record clamp helps reduce both stylus and record wear, extending the life of both.

Low Mass Design – Way Better Than A Record Weight

To extract maximum sonic performance from vinyl, most high-end turntables now come with record clamps rather than record weights because a record clamp has several advantages over record weights. Weighing only 5.4 ounces (153 grams), the Record Doctor Record Clamp’s low mass design does not apply excessive stress to turntable bearings like record weights can, improving bearing performance and life expectancy.

Won't Mar Record Labels

The gentle action of the clamp and the smooth, nonabrasive phenolic material is kind to records and won't mar LPs labels. Record Doctor also went the extra step of adding a soft felt ring to the outer edge of the underside of the clamp.

Beautifully Designed and Engineered

The Record Doctor Record Clamp is beautifully designed and engineered with a black non-resonant phenolic body. The collet, made of carbon structural steel, clamps tightly to most turntable spindles, while the textured stainless steel knob allows for precise clamping pressure.

Note: Not recommended for use with Rega turntables.
