Pro-Ject has announced ‘Flatten it’ to restore warped records. Designed using the same mechanical principles as the brand’s vinyl cleaners, it’s a compact, easy-to-use solution housed in a high-quality, durable cabinet.
Flatten it gently and safely restores records to their original shape using precision-heated aluminium plates with accurate temperature control. This ensures even heating across the record’s surface, helping to reverse warping without risk of damage. It maintains stable and consistent performance with a low-temperature hysteresis of just 2°C.
Record Store Day on 12 April 2025 is all about celebrating vinyl, with collectors picking up fresh pressings and crate-diggers hunting for pre-loved gems. But as any vinyl enthusiast knows, condition is key to getting the best from a record.
Dirt and dust are easy to tackle with Pro-Ject’s VC-E2 and VC-S3 vacuum cleaning machines. However, warped records – often caused by poor storage – pose a bigger challenge.
Flatten it is available for £749.00 in the UK via Henley Audio.
