PRO-JECT FLATTEN IT VINYL FLATTENER FOR WARPED RECORDS

Pro-Ject Audio Systems has introduced the Pro-Ject Flatten it, a dedicated vinyl flattener designed to restore warped records to their original state.

Warping is a common issue for vinyl collectors, often caused by improper storage or environmental conditions. The Pro-Ject Flatten it is designed to provide a controlled, safe, and effective solution to improve playback quality without damaging the record.

Janine spotted it at Audio Show Deluxe 2025 at the weekend and thought it looked pretty neat!

HOW THE PRO-JECT FLATTEN IT WORKS

The Flatten it uses precisely controlled heat and pressure to gently reshape warped records. Built with premium heated aluminium plates, the unit ensures even heat distribution, while a precise electronic temperature control system maintains consistent results. With a low temperature hysteresis of just 2°C, the risk of overheating or damaging records is minimised.

COMPATIBILITY WITH ALL VINYL RECORDS

Flatten it is designed to work with all standard vinyl formats, including different sizes and thicknesses. This ensures flexibility for collectors with a diverse record library. Unlike other flattening devices, which can be complicated or limited in scope, Flatten it is intended for ease of use with a simple operation process.

SOLID BUILD QUALITY AND EUROPEAN CRAFTSMANSHIP

Constructed with a robust aluminium case, the Flatten it reflects Pro-Ject’s commitment to high-quality craftsmanship. The device is handmade in Europe, aligning with the company’s tradition of producing well-engineered HiFi components that prioritise durability and longevity.

THE PRO-JECT APPROACH TO VINYL CARE

Pro-Ject has a long history of offering solutions for vinyl enthusiasts, from their extensive turntable range to cleaning machines like the VC-E2 and VC-S3. With Flatten it, the company extends its focus to another critical aspect of record maintenance—restoring damaged records for optimal performance.

PRO-JECT FLATTEN IT PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

The Pro-Ject Flatten it will be available through Henley Audio’s network of dealers in the UK with a MSRP of €799 (including VAT).
