Pro-Ject Record Puck Pro

190 Grams of Nickel-Plated Aluminum, Under Two-Thirds of an Inch Tall

The Pro-Ject Record Puck PRO is sold each, one per turntable. It weighs 190 grams and stands 0.63 inches tall, machined from aluminum and nickel plated, with felt across the underside. It lowers over a plain spindle — there is no thread and nothing to tighten.

A record only takes on the platter's damping where the two touch. A puck over the label closes that contact. How much mass it takes to do that depends on the deck, and this is the light end of the range rather than the heavy end.

A Light Puck, a Low Profile, and Felt on the Label

Fit, Load and Materials

At 190 grams the PRO adds 0.42 pounds to the platter bearing — modest enough for a wide range of turntables, including decks whose makers are cautious about loading the platter. It measures 3.1 inches across and 0.63 inches thick.

The body is machined aluminum with nickel plating, so it stays looking right after years of handling. Felt across the underside meets the record label and keeps the puck from creeping once it is seated.

Two-thirds of an inch is low, which matters under a hinged dust cover that already sits close to the platter. The bore is plain, so it fits any turntable with a standard unthreaded spindle.

Who Is the Record Puck PRO Best For?

• You want a puck without much mass — 0.42 pounds is light enough for decks that are fussy about platter loading
• Your dust cover closes tight — 0.63 inches is among the lowest profiles of any puck we stock
• Your records lift slightly near the label — the puck settles that area onto the mat for the whole side
• You want a finish that lasts — machined aluminum with nickel plating rather than paint or powder coat
• You are looking for mass to press a genuinely dished record flat — 190 grams will not do that, and the heavier pucks are in record clamps and weights

How Do You Use It?

Put the record on the platter and let it settle. Line the bore up with the spindle and lower the puck until the felt meets the label. Let it rest on its own weight. Lift it straight up before you turn the record over.

Pairs Well With

What most Record Puck PRO owners shop next.

• Turntable mats — the puck presses the record onto whatever is underneath it
• Record brushes — a dry sweep each side, with the record held flat
• Stylus force gauges — the other five-minute setup job that changes how a record tracks
• Record cleaning solutions — for the grime a brush leaves behind

Frequently Asked Questions

How many do I need?

One. The Record Puck PRO is sold each and a turntable takes a single puck.

Will it fit my turntable?

It lowers over any standard unthreaded spindle. A deck whose spindle is threaded for a screw-on clamp is the exception.

Is 190 grams enough?

For settling a record onto the mat, yes — that is what the light end of the range is for. For pressing down a record with a genuine dish in it, no; that takes several times the mass.

Will my dust cover close over it?

Almost certainly. At 0.63 inches above the record it is one of the lowest pucks available, which is the reason to choose it on a turntable with a tight-fitting cover.
