Music fans around the world love the warm and natural sound of analogue vinyl records.
Unfortunately, with long-term storage of vinyl records comes shape distortion that can make your old records sound far from what they should. And even a slightly warped record might still be playable, the added pressure from the stylus will damage the groove adding noise and unnecessary wear that eventually could damage the disc. This innovative audio accessory Orb DF-01i allows you to correct the warps and avoid shape distortion and wear
Imagine if you could repair the warp on that otherwise valuable or favourite record. Now you can.
The Orb Disc Flattener uses a unique heating technique which is applied with two semiconductor heater films, one on the top and one on the bottom. By thermally controlling the heating-up phase and cooling-down phase, the warped record is allowed to properly relax and return to its original flat state.
The machine heats only the outer edge and centre of the record. The grooves are not heated and therefore their sonic shape is preserved.
The entire process takes four hours; two to heat up and two to cool down.
