RAW-1 Record Adapter Weight

How it Works: Vinyl records are thin and flexible and are often warped. As most records do not lie flat on the turntable platter, sound reproduction suffers due to the stylus riding on an unsupported record. The RAW-1 weighs down the record and secures it from moving, increasing the detail and accuracy for improved tracking. It also adds mass to the platter increasing rotation accuracy, dampening vibrations and reducing sonic distortion. Records that are bowed downwards contact the platter at the outer edge but not in the middle. On the other hand, records that are bowed upwards tend to rock on the platter. Anti-skating compensation is less effective and record wear is increased substantially because of the vertical action of the stylus. The RAW-1 helps flatten and support the record down onto the platter to improve tracking for a more stable playback.

**The RAW-1 improves the sound of vinyl by creating a flatter contact between record and platter.** The Scout RAW-1 Record Adapter Weight is designed for use on almost any turntable* and works with both LP and 45 rpm vinyl records. The main idea is to combine a 45 adapter and record clamp, two pieces designed to function as one. Other design objectives include: (Not recommended for use on antique or toy record players as damage to the drive mechanism may occur.) The RAW-1 consists of two pieces: the Tamper and the Ring. The Tamper by itself works as a 45 adapter. Simply place it onto your turntable spindle to provide playback of 7” vinyl records with a big center hole. The Ring can also be used when playing big hole 45s as it slips over the Tamper and sits on the record flattening it down onto the platter. Even though the RAW-1 is a two-piece design, it functions as one when combined. To remove off the spindle, simply lift up the Tamper which will also lift the Ring at the same time. If you do not play a lot of 45s, keep the RAW-1 together for use on your LPs.
