On the back of the success of its Monza record clamp, Furutech has now released the new and more affordable version of this bestseller, the Monaco Furutech Monaco: technology This record clamp uses its own piezoceramic transmission technology, combined with the mechanical properties of carbon fibre This unique combination of nanosized ceramic and powdered carbon fibre particles brings together two active materials, reducing and eliminating surface vibrations and static In short: mechanical pressure creates electricity, which forms a bridge between the electrical and mechanical oscillation. The carbon fibre powder has heat conductivity properties which interact with the ceramic particles. This energy is then converted into heat which is released through the surface of the Monaco record clamp This 'active’ design is, at least to our knowledge, completely unprecedented. The Furutech Monaco record clamp doesn’t work through weight alone. In fact, it is relatively lightweight (210g), which means it can be used with 90% of record players on the market! Features: Materials: Non-magnetic stainless steel, carbon fibre/ceramic Height: 28 mm Width: 45 mm Weight: 210g
