Overview

The Pro-Ject CLAMP-IT Record Clamp tightens the connection between your record and the platter without adding the extra mass that a standard weighted record puck relies on. Because it clamps around the centre spindle instead of resting on top of the record, it improves contact without increasing rumble on turntables with lighter bearings.

Its clamping pressure is adjustable, so it can be fine-tuned to suit records that are slightly warped, helping the vinyl sit flatter against the platter for more consistent playback.

Finished in aluminium with a leather coating and diamond-cut edges, the CLAMP-IT looks as considered as it sounds, and mounts in seconds by hand-tightening over the spindle.

We point customers with lower-mass turntables toward the CLAMP-IT over a traditional weighted puck. Because it doesn't add downward mass to the platter, it avoids the added rumble a heavy puck can introduce on entry-level bearings, while still tightening record-to-platter contact.

Why the CLAMP-IT Stands Out

Buyer's Guide

Who It's For

• Owners of Lower-Mass Turntables: avoids the added rumble a heavy weighted puck can cause on lighter bearings.
• Listeners with Slightly Warped Records: adjustable pressure helps improve contact with the platter.
• Vinyl Enthusiasts Who Want a Finished Look: the diamond-cut, leather-coated design suits higher-end turntable setups.

How It Compares

Pro-Ject also sells traditional weighted accessories like the Record Puck E, which improve record-to-platter contact by adding mass to the centre of the record. The CLAMP-IT takes a different approach: it clamps around the spindle rather than resting on the vinyl, so it tightens contact without adding weight that can induce rumble on turntables with less massive bearings, making it the better choice for lighter-weight decks.
