Reduces Resonance and Record Warp
Overview — Michell Record Clamp
The Michell Record Clamp is designed to improve vinyl
playback by securely coupling the record to the turntable platter.
Its black Delrin body is intended to complement the resonance
characteristics of vinyl, while the anodized aluminum knob allows
controlled clamping pressure to be applied around the spindle.
By improving contact between the record and platter, the clamp can
help reduce the effects of minor warping and unwanted vibration. This
may support more stable tracking, improved focus, and more consistent
playback. The clamp is suitable for compatible straight-spindle
turntables, including appropriate Michell GyroDec and TecnoDec
configurations.

Highlights & Benefits
Helps secure the record against the platter for improved playback
stability.
Can reduce the audible effects of unwanted vibration and minor
record warping.
Low-mass construction minimizes additional load on the turntable
bearing.
Delrin body is selected for its durability, low mass, and
vibration-control properties.
Available in Standard and “R” fitting versions for different
spindle-height requirements.
Knurled aluminum knob provides a secure grip for controlled
clamping.
Design & Engineering
Collet-Based Clamping Mechanism — Turning the upper
knob tightens a split collet around the turntable spindle, securing
the clamp without relying only on downward weight.
Delrin and Aluminum Construction — The Delrin body
keeps mass low while supporting vibration control. The anodized
aluminum knob provides durability and a secure adjustment surface.
Low-Mass Design — At approximately 70 grams, the
clamp adds relatively little weight compared with heavier record
weights.
Two Spindle Fittings — The Standard version is
intended for spindles extending at least 6.5 mm above the record. The
“R” fitting is intended for shorter spindles extending at least
approximately 5 mm.
Perfect For
Vinyl listeners who want to improve record-to-platter contact.
Record collections containing slightly warped or uneven LPs.
Compatible straight-spindle turntables, including selected Michell
GyroDec and TecnoDec configurations.
Turntable systems where low-mass resonance control is preferred
over a heavy record weight.
FAQ — Michell Record Clamp
How do I choose between the Standard and “R” fitting?
Measure how far the spindle extends above the record. The Standard
fitting is intended for approximately 6.5 mm or more, while the
“R” fitting is intended for shorter spindles measuring
approximately 5 to 6.4 mm.
Is the clamp safe for suspended turntables?
Its low-mass design adds less bearing and suspension load than many
heavy record weights. Turntable compatibility should still be
confirmed before use.
How does the clamp reduce resonance?
The clamp improves contact between the record and platter, helping
limit movement and vibration. Its Delrin construction also helps
keep the accessory lightweight.
How should the clamp be installed?
Place the record on the platter, position the clamp over the
spindle, and turn the upper knob until the collet grips securely.
Use only enough pressure to hold the record firmly in place.
