This new clamp ensures a secure fit between the record and the turntable. With two different finishes, black painted and polished silver, it perfectly matches the design of our turntables. The clamps use weight to secure a vinyl record playing on the turntable platter. By holding the two together, the turntable's sound performance will improve in timing and sound depth. Weighing 190 grams, this clamp is perfect for smaller turntables so as not to strain the turntable's bearing and to prevent an increase in hum.
