Pro-Ject Flatten it - Silver

Description

Restore Warped Records with Controlled Heat
The Flatten-it uses premium heated aluminium plates to evenly distribute heat across the record surface. This gentle process allows warped vinyl to gradually return to its natural shape while minimizing stress on the material.
With this controlled flattening method, many records affected by edge warps or dish warps can be restored, reducing playback issues such as stylus mistracking, distortion, and unwanted noise.

Advanced Temperature Control for Safe Operation
At the heart of the Flatten-it is an electronic temperature management system designed to maintain precise operating conditions. The device maintains a low temperature hysteresis of only 2°C, ensuring stable heat levels throughout the flattening process.
This precise control is critical for vinyl restoration, as it allows records to be treated carefully without excessive temperature fluctuations that could damage the material.

Designed for All Vinyl Sizes and Thicknesses
The Flatten-it is compatible with all common vinyl record formats, including standard LP sizes and varying vinyl thicknesses. Whether you are restoring classic pressings, modern 180-gram audiophile records, or rare collector editions, the machine adapts easily to different formats.
This flexibility makes it an ideal tool for serious collectors, vinyl stores, and restoration enthusiasts who frequently encounter warped records.

Solid Aluminium Construction for Long-Term Reliability
Built with solid aluminium construction, the Flatten-it offers durability and thermal stability essential for precision vinyl treatment. Its robust design ensures consistent heat distribution while maintaining mechanical stability throughout the flattening process.
Manufactured in Europe, the unit reflects Pro-Ject’s commitment to quality engineering and long-term reliability for serious analog enthusiasts.
 

Why Use a Vinyl Record Flattener?

Warped vinyl can cause a range of playback problems:

• Stylus tracking instability
• Audible distortion or pitch variation
• Increased surface noise
• Reduced cartridge performance

By restoring records to a flat surface, the Flatten-it helps improve tracking accuracy, playback stability, and overall sound quality, allowing listeners to enjoy their records as intended.
