Materials such as bronze and aluminium have been chosen to provide optimal handling of resonances and sound balance. When listening with this clamp, it is possible to perceive an increased sonic richness as well as more spatial localization and a thick texture. A special copyrighted electromagnetic disc developed in collaboration with Sublima Audio Research is attached to the base of the clamp. While a record plays, small contact microcharges can commonly form between grooves causing the stylus to lift by a few microns and spoil the sound quality. Moreover, those microcharges are among the main factors that cause wear and tear, both to the stylus diamond as well as the grooves of the record itself.

Some intervention on electrostatic charge is therefore essential. The disc at the base of the clamp helps to absorb these contact charges and to improve not only record reproduction, but also the lifespan of the stylus diamond and records themselves. With the Thuono Audio Clamp, reproduction becomes clearer and richer in both harmonics and timber and above all accurate sound range reproduction.
