Overview
Stroboscopic Disc for Turntable Diameter 30 cm Thickness 3 mm Acrylic Speed Calibration 33 45 and 78 RPM For LP Records

The stroboscopic disc is a practical calibration tool for anyone wanting to ensure that their turntable is spinning at the correct speed. The disc has a diameter of 30 cm, making it the size of a standard LP record, and it conveniently sits directly on the platter over the central spindle. Its surface features printed concentric rings made up of regular markings, which are used to check speeds of 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM. This tool is suitable for home turntables, for devices after servicing, and for those where the music sounds too fast or too slow. Verifying the speed takes just a moment and requires no additional tools.

The disc is made of acrylic with a thickness of 3 mm, making it sturdy, flat, and resistant to bending during handling. According to the seller, it is double-sided: one side is for measuring and checking the platter speed, while the other is for setting the tonearm angle. The markings are divided into an outer and inner ring, and the disc also features markings for mains frequency 50 Hz. This makes the disc useful for regular home checks as well as for more precise adjustments of the turntable after replacing the belt, motor, or cartridge.

Using it is simple. Place the disc on the turntable just like a record, turn on the lamp, and start spinning at the selected speed. Then watch the ring of markings for the specified speed and adjust the speed until the pattern stops moving forward or backward. If the markings move in the direction of rotation, the platter is spinning faster than it should, and if they lag behind, the speed needs to be increased. After calibration, remove the disc and store it flat to keep it straight. The surface can be wiped with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth; do not use rough sponges or aggressive cleaning agents to avoid damaging the print.

The stroboscopic disc for turntable is a simple way to maintain the correct playback speed of your vinyl records. It is suitable for record collectors, sound enthusiasts, and those who adjust their turntables themselves. With dimensions corresponding to an LP record, it fits on the platter just like a regular record, and speed checks can be completed in a matter of minutes. The acrylic disc is durable, flat, and ready for repeated use. It serves as a useful accessory for regular maintenance of turntables and vinyl records.
