How is a vinyl dubplate cut?
We cut vinyl records directly into PVC, which is the same material a ‘standard’ record is pressed into. They are just as well durable and are – in contrast to conventional dubplates that are cut into acetate discs - preeminently suitable for scratching. A dubplate has a durability of over 80 play-backs. Our records are as durable as pressed vinyls and can be cut up to 6dB and thus achieve higher sound levels and intensities than pressed vinyls.

What do I have to consider when delivering the material ?
For mastering the following rules apply:
be careful of phase issues in the low end area. The best way is to avoid the use of stereo basis broadening effects.Occurring phase distortion can be detected by a mono compatibility test.
Pay attention that there are no digital distortions.
Frequencies above 15kHz can be attenuated.
Using de-essers in an unobtrusive manner is highly recommended with ‘fizzled’ vocals.
Avoid frequencies below 20Hz, because here's the resonance spot of the most tonearms.
How much fits on which format?
The playing time depends on the volume, which the record is cut in. The numbers listed below refer to a ‘loud cut’ record. If a record should comprise more, volume must be lowered and the noise floor increases.
| 45rpm | 33rpm | |
| 12" | 8 min | 12 min |
| 10" | 6 min | 8 min |
| 7" | 4 min | 6 min |
