Описание: How Millions of Vinyl Records Are Made Inside Massive Record Pressing Factory

Did you know that millions of vinyl records are produced every year — preserving music in a format that stores sound entirely through physical grooves? What appears to be a simple black disc is actually the result of precise audio engineering, specialized mastering techniques, and carefully controlled manufacturing processes designed to capture microscopic sound waves on a rotating surface.

In this documentary, The Factoran takes you inside record pressing plants where audio masters are cut into lacquer discs using precision lathes, transformed into metal stampers through silvering and electroforming, and pressed into heated polyvinyl chloride under high pressure to form the final record. Watch how mastering engineers, electroplating systems, and automated pressing machines work together to produce thousands of vinyl records every day — transforming invisible sound into a physical medium that can spin on turntables around the world.
