Michell Record Clamp
Michell Record Clamp
Black Delrin Body · Anodized Aluminum Knob · Stabilizes Records · Reduces Resonance & Warp
Overview — Record Clamp
The Michell Record Clamp is a precision clamp designed to improve vinyl playback by firmly coupling the record to the platter. Its black Delrin body matches the resonance characteristics of vinyl, while the anodized aluminum knob allows you to apply controlled, uniform pressure.
By evening out small warps and reducing unwanted resonances, it helps improve tracking stability, reduce distortion, and enhance overall sound clarity. Compatible with many straight-spindle turntables — especially Michell’s own GyroDec and TecnoDec.
Highlights & Benefits
- Improves stability by clamping the vinyl to the platter, reducing edge warps.
- Reduces surface resonance for clearer sound and better focus.
- Lightweight design (~70 g) minimizes added load on the turntable bearing.
- Delrin body acoustically matches vinyl, helping to absorb vibration.
- Two versions for compatibility: Standard (≥ 6.5 mm spindle) and “R” fitting (≥ 5 mm).
- Knurled aluminum knob for easy clamping without damaging spindle.
Design & Engineering
Collet-Based Clamping Mechanism — When you turn the top knob, a split collet tightens around the spindle, applying even radial pressure to secure the record.
Material Choice — Delrin & Aluminum — Delrin (POM) is chosen for its low mass and resonance properties similar to vinyl, while the anodized aluminum knob provides durability without excessive weight.
Low Mass Design — At around 70 grams, it doesn’t overly burden suspension turntables.
Spindle Compatibility — Available in two versions: Standard (fits 6.5 mm or larger spindles) or “R” for shorter spindles (≥ 5 mm), making it suitable for many brands.
Perfect For
- Vinyl enthusiasts looking to reduce rumble and enhance tracking.
- Record collectors with slightly warped or undulated LPs.
- Turntables with straight spindles (e.g., Michell GyroDec, TecnoDec, many others).
- Systems where resonance control and vibration damping are critical.
Customer Feedback
“Helps flatten out slightly warped records and tightens up the sound.”
“Low mass but very effective — you can feel the difference in stability.”
FAQ — Record Clamp
How do I choose between Standard and “R” fitting?
Measure the height of your spindle above the record: use Standard if it's ≥ 6.5 mm, or the “R” version if it's 5–6.4 mm.
Will it damage my turntable bearings?
No — the clamp weighs only ~70g and uses a collet mechanism to apply gentle but effective pressure, so it’s safe even for suspended bearings.
Does it really reduce resonance?
Yes — the delrin body helps absorb vibrations, and the clamping reduces wobble from warps or mounting imperfections.
Does it come with a felt washer?
Yes — many retailers note a felt washer is included, which helps lift the center slightly so the clamp more effectively flattens the vinyl.
