From Factory To Hi-Fidelity
You love your records. I'd almost bet they're methodically organized, their plastic sleeves free from any wrinkles. Collectors don't come much more serious than those who have fallen in love with vinyl albums. And whether your passion is rock vinyl, jazz vinyl or just about any genre under the sun, have you ever considered just how that perfect little piece of wax gets into your hands and on your turntable? Surprisingly, it's a simple procedure.
Logically, the technique of producing and pressing the albums of today has its origins in the steps first given by Thomas Edison's photograph. But before anything resembling a vinyl record is produced, a medium is needed. In the studio, a master recording is made, where musicians, producers and audio engineers work hand in hand to perfect the recorded sound.
A varnish is put on a record-cutting machine as soon as the master is achieved. During its production, the lacquer veneer dries to a perfectly smooth surface. While it revolves, electronic signals from the master recording are sent to a cutting head, which holds a stylus. An engineer moves the cutter and a microscope then inspects the test groove and adjustments are made to the cutter. Since the recording is one continuous groove, a computer monitors the cutting and adjusts the spacing between the grooves as needed. Although not a vinyl record yet, it's beginning to take shape.
From there, the imprinted lacquer is sent to a pressing plant - perhaps a more industrial-looking environment than most vinyl album enthusiasts would like to admit. The lacquer is then washed with soap and water and sprayed with liquid tin chloride and liquid silver. Creating an inverse of the lacquer, the resulting metal master has ridges as opposed to grooves. The metal master is then used to produce a metal record, also known as the mother. A stamper is born from the mother. The stamper is put on a machine, which stamps a hole in the middle and gets rid of the edges to make a diameter of 12 inches. Stampers are negative versions of the original recording that will be used to make the actual vinyl records.
Lastly, the stamper is put in a hydraulic press. Black Polyvinyl choride pellets are put in an extruder, which transforms them into small "biscuits". The biscuit is then placed in the press which has two stampers encased within - one for each side of the album. Steam softens the plastic while the stampers create impressions of the master recording onto soon-to-be-vinyl albums. Cool water is then employed to harden the disc. The last step? Finding its place in your vinyl record collection and on your turntable, whether its rock vinyl or jazz vinyl.
