The best Record Clamp I have had the pleasure of using. The Acoustic Signature Grip MK.II far surpasses the performance and what was previously considered the limit of Record Stabilizers which do not grip the Spindle or exert any added downward torque on the Record other than what gravity provides.

With the Grip MK.II you are fully in control because it offers a much greater range of force level that you can choose to employ.

The design makes contact with the peripheral edge of the Clamp's base surface and will force down the outside of the record label onto the Platter.

Silky smooth in operation like all Acoustic Signatures products, the Grip MK.II is a joy to use. Turning the sophisticated top locking mechanism provides tactile feedback and exacting control over even the smallest of user adjustment inputs yet is liquidly smooth to operate.

Do you have some records which are your all time favourites that cannot be ordered new anymore and you still get much enjoyment from playing but they are a little warped? Instead of throwing them out or destroying your expensive Cartridge, why not use this specially designed clamp which will irradiate many of those annoying defects you sometimes get in even the best kept vinyl.

 

Precision CNC machined to exacting standards and Hard Anodized with a bronze shaft insert incorporated into the design.

Can be used on other Turntables for added performance increase and improved Cartridge tracking ability.

No other Record Clamp comes close.

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 undampend 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 Ant-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 MK.II 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.
