Product description
Vinyl records are thin and flexible and often warped or bowed. As most records do not lie flat on the turntable platter, sound reproduction suffers due to un-dampened vinyl resonance caused by the stylus riding on an unsupported record, or the air moved during listening with speakers. Records which are bowed downward contact the platter at the outer edge but not in the middle. Conversely, records that are warped or bowed upwards tend to rock on the platter. In these instances Anti skating compensation is less effective and record wear is increased substantially by the lateral or vertical seesawing motion of the tonearm/cartridge combination. The Acoustic-Signature GRIP Record Clamp solves these problems by bringing the record into more intimate contact with the platter. To use it, place the record on the patter and place the clamp on the record. Press and turn the upper knob clockwise to lock the unit. The record clamp's peripheral edge will force down the outside of the record label area thereby causing the record to completely contact the platter surface. To remove the clamp, it is only necessary to turn the knob 1/4 turn counter clockwise. The knob does not have to be unscrewed completely. Like all other Acoustic- Signature products the Grip is made on high precision CNC-machines to make sure perfect quality and minimal tolerances.
Load Record Weight Stabilizer ( available in black or silver ) The Acoustic Signature Load record weight stabilizer eliminates the sound degradation caused by wavy records. The stabilizer distributes its pressure evenly across the record and, by improving the platter contact, minimizes unwanted vibration thus providing a smoother cartridge tracking.
With a mass of 280 grams Load does not stress the bearing – the optimal addition for turntables with sub-chassis and/or little platter mass.
The Load record weight is made entirely of high-quality aluminum. The production takes place on CNC-controlled machines to precisely maintain the smallest tolerances.
Technical Data & Finish
- Weight: 330 gram
- Available finishes: silver anodized, black anodized
Load-S Record Weight Stabilizer ( available in bicolor black/gold or silver/gold )
The Acoustic Signature Load‑S record weight stabilizer eliminates the sound degradation caused by wavy records. The support weight distributes its pressure evenly across the record and, by improving platter contact, minimizes sound-degrading vibrations and provides smoother cartridge tracking.
The innovative design of the Load‑S uses the Acoustic Signature Silencer technology. This involves special copper modules pressed into the chassis in order to absorb unwanted resonances highly effectively. With a mass of 715 grams Load‑S is suitable for all turntables with a platter weight of five kilograms or more. The Load‑S record weight stabilizer is made of a high-quality heat-treated aluminum alloy. The production takes place on CNC-controlled machines in order to precisely maintain the smallest tolerances.
Technical Data & Finish
- Weight: 715 gram
- Available finishes: : silver anodized, black anodized, high gloss ( not anodized )
Grip Mk3 Record Clamp ( available in black or silver )
Compared to a normal record weight stabilizer the Grip MK3 offers a significantly higher contact pressure and, due to its mass of 330 grams, cannot stress the bearing – the optimal addition for turntables with sub-chassis and/or little platter mass.
To open and close a quarter turn is sufficient. A complete unscrewing as with many other record clamps is not necessary. The Grip MK3 turntable clamp is made entirely of high-quality aluminum. The production takes place on CNC-controlled machines in order to precisely maintain the smallest tolerances.
Technical Data & Finish
- Weight: 330 gram
- Available finishes: silver anodized, black anodized, natural aluminum ( diamond-turned )
Grip-S Record Clamp ( available in silver & bicolors black/gold, black/silver or silver/gold ) The Acoustic Signature Grip‑S record clamp eliminates the sound degradation caused by wavy records. The implemented precision mechanism presses the record firmly onto the platter, eliminating existing unevenness and allowing for smoother cartridge tracking.
The innovative design of the Grip‑S uses the Acoustic Signature Silencer technology. This involves pressing special copper modules into the clamp chassis in order to absorb unwanted resonances in a highly effective manner with a mass of 752 grams, the Grip‑S is suitable for all turntables weighing five kilograms or more.To open and close a quarter turn is sufficient. A complete unscrewing as with many other record clamps is not necessary.The Grip‑S is made of a high-quality heat-treated aluminum alloy. It is manufactured on CNC-controlled machines to precisely maintain the smallest tolerances.
Technical Data & Finish
- Weight: 752 gram
- Available finishes: silver anodized, black anodized, high gloss ( not anodized )
