Do you want the best possible sound when you're DJing with vinyl? Sold only in Japan, the Audio Technica AT-618 is a rare accessory for DJ's that demand top quality sound and performance from their records. This hefty unit sits atop the record on the turntable spindle and applies 600grams of weight, holding the record firmly in place while stabilizing the record and improving overall sound quality. This is especially useful when playing in loud clubs where bass vibrations may be an issue or when recording your vinyl into your computer (for a cleaner recording).
Used by respected vinyl loving disco DJs like James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem), Prins Thomas and Jacques Renault, the AT618 also covers your labels if you're concerned with trainspotters and works wonders on those records that are slightly warped. Must be used with high torque turntables (will not work well with belt drive decks).
