Vinyl Speed and Size Cheat Sheet

How it helps

Use it for a focused task

This page helps you figure out the right turntable speed for any record you pull off the shelf. Start by using the interactive lookup to match a record's size, label markings, or format.

Below the lookup, you'll find a full reference table, visual cues for identifying speed from label details, common mistakes, and edge cases like 10-inch records and unusual reissues. Pick a record and note its size (7-inch, 10-inch, or 12-inch) and any speed markings on the label or sleeve.

Use the lookup panel above to find the correct RPM. If the label is worn or missing, check the visual clues section for tips on telling formats apart.
