ORB DF-01iA Disc Flattener

The ORB AUDIO DF-01i A vinyl record flattener is an advancement of the DF-01i and has been designed for all vinyl formats: singles, maxis, mini-LPs, and LPs. The device is capable of warming warped records through defined heating in three different temperature programs and restoring the record's flatness.

Warped and deformed vinyl records have a significant impact on the optimal tracking process of the cartridge system and result in higher ambient noise, increased needle and record wear, and inferior sound reproduction. Some records may not be playable at all.

The ORB DF-01i A record flattener warms the vinyl, smoothens the surface, and improves conditions for an optimal tracking process. Both the cartridge and the records benefit from enhanced durability and quality. The heat treatment relaxes the vinyl material, which is highly advantageous for the sound reproduction of the record. The sonic differences between warped and smoothed vinyl are noticeably perceptible. The flattener ensures improved playback quality and preserves the value of precious cartridges and vinyl treasures.

The device features a sturdy metal frame construction with two heating surfaces and an integrated timer offering three temperature programs. The Low, Medium, and High temperature programs are adjustable. The High program is particularly suitable for LPs weighing 180-200 grams. The disc flattener is designed for 7", 10", and 12" record formats and is not suitable for shellac records.
