Project Flatten it vinyl flattener
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. While flattening devices exist, they tend to be costly.
That’s where Pro-ject’s new Flatten it comes in. 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.
Made in Europe, Flatten it delivers outstanding results at a price that reflects Pro-ject’s commitment to quality and exceptional value. Henley Audio distributes Pro-ject Audio Systems in the UK, with Flatten It priced at £749.
