{"product_id":"thiele-dw01-damping-weight-technology-record-clamp","title":"Thiele DW01 Damping Weight Technology Record Clamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eResonance measurements on records during playback have shown that the extremely fast movement of the needle carrier and the diamond in the groove cause the entire vinyl to vibrate despite its minimal mass. The DW01 damping weight minimises these resonances from the top of the vinyl using a combination of aluminium and wooden parts, connected by a damping gel. This 2-component gel is also used in the tonearmtube of the TA01 tonearm in combination with carbon material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFunctional Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a vinyl LP is played, the entire vinyl disc, including the \u003cstrong\u003epaper labels (1)\u003c\/strong\u003e, is set into vibration by the diamond and \u003cstrong\u003estylus\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e(2)\u003c\/strong\u003e of the pickup. These vibrations and resonances are superimposed on the music signal, producing an imprecise sound that impairs accurate reproduction and precise localisation of the musical instruments in the virtual space. The puck contacts the vinyl disc on the top of the paper label via \u003cstrong\u003ethree ebony rods (3)\u003c\/strong\u003e and transmits the resonances to a \u003cstrong\u003emulti-ribbed coupling disc (4)\u003c\/strong\u003e in the centre of the damping weight. This coupling disc is connected to the body of the puck via a \u003cstrong\u003edamping gel (5)\u003c\/strong\u003e. The total \u003cstrong\u003ehousing (6)\u003c\/strong\u003e weight of approx.\u003cbr\u003e400 grams generates the corresponding pressure on the vinyl disc and dampens all resonances via the gel. The body of the damping weight itself is further dampened by e\u003cstrong\u003ebony inlays (7)\u003c\/strong\u003e on top. The result of all these measures is a very effective silencing of the vinyl LP and thus a clean sound image with a very precise localisation and reproduction of the musical instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thiele","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51985210376513,"sku":"THI-DW01","price":1850.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2636\/1921\/files\/DW01-Bild-01-1024x718_1.jpg?v=1784161820","url":"https:\/\/www.magentaaudio.com.au\/products\/thiele-dw01-damping-weight-technology-record-clamp","provider":"Magenta Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
