The Tonar Window Weight is an iron weight that allows you to watch the label of your record thanks to its the clear acrylic window. With its reasonable weight of 350 grams, it can be used on most turntables.

For DJs the pressure of this weight makes it easier to scratch without skips. For analog sound lovers it improves the sound quality by suppressing resonances emerging from the record to the needle, and a more stable connection between the vinyl record and the underlying mat or disk.

Any vibrations in the record during playback will be picked by the cartridge and will be reproduced by the amplifier and speakers causing muddy sound, distortion and reduce detail. In order to avoid record vibrations you must make certain that the contact between the record and the platter is perfect. The tonar record clamp presses the record flat against the platter. Put the record on the turntable and then put the clamp on the spindle, press down en turn the knob to tighten. The weight of the clamp is minimal so it can be used on any record player with a fixed spindle.

Also many of the older manufactured records are warped. Some more, some less. This causes big problems for the diamond stylus of the cartridge to track the grooves properly. The stylus pressure fluctuates as the stylus moves up and down while trying to track the warps. With bad results: muddy sound reproduction with distortions and if the turntables drive isn’t really strong… audible flutter. In some cases the stylus may actually loose contact with the groove causing a hissing sound. Using the Tonarclampit will press the record onto the turntable platter, the problematical surface will be flattened now, while you play the record causing a dramatic improvement of the reproduced sound on old records.
