POMELLI VINYL: The Smart Record Weight & Stylus Odometer

Bringing precision digital intelligence to the sacred ritual of analog vinyl playback.

The Dilemma Every Vinyl Lover Faces

We spend hundreds, sometimes thousands of euros on cartridges, tonearms, phono preamps, and pristine pressings. Yet, two silent

enemies degrade our sound every single day:

1. Undetected Turntable Tilt: Even a fraction of a degree in azimuth or horizontal tilt causes uneven groove wear and channel

imbalance.

2. The Mystery of Stylus Wear: Most premium styluses last between 800 and 1,000 hours before they start permanently shaving the

delicate high-frequency grooves of your vinyl. But how do you accurately track playback hours? With a notebook? A mental guess?

Traditional record weights are just dumb chunks of brass or aluminum. They clamp your record, but tell you nothing.

We created Pomelli Vinyl to change that forever.

Meet Pomelli Vinyl

Pomelli Vinyl is the world’s first intelligent record stabilizer that acts as a precision acoustic clamp and an active playback

odometer.

Crafted with an optimized 200g precision mass and an 85mm footprint, Pomelli dampens unwanted micro-resonances and flattens

warped records without placing unnecessary wear on delicate turntable platter bearings.

Inside sits a state-of-the-art ESP32 ultra-low-power wireless brain and a high-precision 6-axis inertial sensor, quietly

measuring every rotation and tilt with 0.1° accuracy.

Key Features

• The Stylus Odometer: Automatically senses when a record is spinning and accurately records playback time down to the minute.

Check total needle hours right on your smartphone or browser dashboard.

• Real-time 3D Leveling: Instant visual horizontal verification. Calibrate your turntable feet and tonearm balance with absolute

confidence.

• Zero App-Store Hassle (Local Web UI): No mandatory cloud accounts or subscriptions. Simply connect your phone or laptop to

Pomelli’s local web interface to see real-time statistics.

• Home Assistant & Smart Home Native: Broadcasts non-blocking BLE / BTHome metrics. Automatically dim your listening room lights

when vinyl playback starts, or trigger notifications when needle maintenance is due!

• Long-Life Rechargeable Battery: 15+ hours of continuous rotation per charge with automatic motion sleep. Quick charging via

standard USB-C port located neatly underneath.

• Eco-Conscious Craft Packaging: Shipped in a minimal, beautifully engineered recycled kraft cardboard box. No plastic blisters,

no wasteful over-packaging.

Why We Need Your Support

We have spent months designing, 3D printing prototypes, testing gyroscopic stabilization, writing custom firmware, and testing

with real audiophile equipment (including classic direct-drive and belt-drive turntables).

The prototypes are working, the code is tested, and the demo is live on YouTube!

Your backing will fund:

1. Tooling and batch manufacturing of the precision ballast weights.

2. Direct wholesale sourcing of certified ESP32 modules and sensors.

3. Upgraded high-precision 3D production equipment for the carbon composite housings.

4. Precision CNC milling runs for the Artisan Walnut editions.
