Pro-Ject's Flatten It restores warped vinyls using precision-heated aluminum plates with controlled, even temperature.
Features solid European metal build, easy controls, and a 2°C low temperature hysteresis for stability.
Designed for vinyl enthusiasts, especially buyers of second-hand LPs, to maintain and protect collections.
Pro-Ject has introduced the Flatten It, a specialized device designed to address the common issue of warped vinyl records. Priced at £749, the Flatten It utilizes precision-heated aluminum plates to gently and safely restore records to their original flat state. Unlike improvised methods such as using an oven, this device ensures even heating across the record’s surface through accurate temperature control, minimizing the risk of damage.
Encased in a solid metal build crafted in Europe, the Flatten It features a spindle for placing records and user-friendly controls with two buttons: one for heating/cooling and another for power, alongside a temperature display. The device boasts a low temperature hysteresis of just 2°C, which allows it to maintain a stable and consistent temperature without frequent fluctuations, ensuring optimal performance throughout the flattening process.
This innovation is particularly beneficial for vinyl enthusiasts who often source second-hand records from platforms like Discogs or local charity shops, where warping is a frequent issue. Pro-Ject’s Flatten It provides a reliable solution for preserving the integrity of valuable LPs, complementing their existing range of high-quality turntables and vinyl care devices such as the VC vacuum cleaning machines.
Available now in the UK through Henley Audio and priced at approximately $965 or AU$1,528, the Flatten It represents a significant advancement in vinyl maintenance technology. While the duration of the flattening process has yet to be specified, the device’s precise temperature management promises effective results for audiophiles seeking to maintain their collections in pristine condition.
