Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner PRO X Record Cleaning Machine - With Extras

Free Shipping on *ALL* Electronics (Excluding Speakers, Contiguous 48 US States Only)

General:
This is one our favorite record cleaners. In only six minutes records come out clean with a nice shine.

It works by using four rollers on the inside that spin against the record surface quickly. It also utilizes ultrasonic cleaning to clean deep into the grooves. The whole process is automatic, and when the cleaning is complete the machine dries the record surface making it ready to play right away. 

Essential for someone with a large collection of vinyl.

Included with your purchase is the record cleaning machine, power supply, owner's manual, a new bottle of Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner Concentrate Record Cleaning Fluid (20ml, $25), new extra filter ($25), and a set of four new replacement cleaning rollers ($100).

An Exciting New Digital Era Kicks Off!
Refinements, as well as several key upgrades to internal component parts, translate to even greater performance, superior features, and increased reliability. And just like its predecessor, Vinyl Cleaner PRO is fully automatic and cleans your vinyl LPs using ultrasonic vibrations. Feel free to read much more below about how it all works, what it does, and why it beats every other system around. Just know there's simply no finer, easier-to-use, or do-it-all record cleaning machine in the world.

Five-Minute Cleaning Process Is Simple, Quiet, Thorough
The fully automatic Vinyl Cleaner PRO cleans your records using ultrasonic vibrations. All you need to do is place a record perpendicularly into Vinyl Cleaner PRO and press the red activation button. Then, walk away if you want. When the green LED shines, the clean LP can be removed. How's that for simple?

During the five-minute cleaning process, specially designed rotary cleaning pads made from a microfiber material move in opposite directions while a specialized ultrasonic system removes even the finest contaminants from the grooves. The cleaning solution is thoroughly filtered inside the machine to avoid re-contamination of the LP. Finally, two high-performance fans guarantee your LP ends the cycle perfectly dry and ready to play. Such cleaning is not only quieter and much easier, it is also highly effective and extremely gentle on the LP's surface. Your vinyl will sparkle as never before and most importantly, you will hear your LP collection sound better than ever. No matter what other cleaning process you have tried, you need to hear what Vinyl Cleaner PRO does for your music.

The Grooves of Your Vinyl Will Be Cleaner Than When Brand-New
For decades, brushes and pressure used to be the only way you could clean LPs. In order to loosen dirt, residue, and other contaminants from the vinyl's surface, the standard approach employed scrubbing brushes that led to results as varied and diverse as the specific brush employed. From the shape of the brush, to the pressure and angle applied, to the speed of the turning, numerous criteria formed the basis of efficient record cleaning. Unfortunately, the worst-case scenario often occurs. Instead of being removed, dirt gets forced even deeper into the grooves, spread across the entire LP surface, or worst of all, damages the surface.

Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner PRO doesn't rely on brushes to remove dust and other contaminants. Counter-rotating microfiber wet cleaning barrels, and the ultrasonic process, gently yet thoroughly remove dirt. Finally, even the finest particles living deep within the grooves of LPs are cleaned. In addition, cleaning fluid is recirculated and filtered during the cleaning process. Dirt gets removed, or "shaken," from the LP surface and cannot find its way back onto the surface, leaving your vinyl cleaner than when brand-new.

Imagine: Record Cleaning That Is Entirely Free of Static
With traditional cleaning machines, surface suction relies on the vacuum-seal that is created. Two drawbacks to this approach include the diminishing power of the vacuum due aging, and the static charging of the disc caused by the effects of rubbing. Plus, surface suction is generally characterized by the limited efficiency of dirt removal and loud vacuum cleaner-like noise.

But Vinyl Cleaner PRO rewrites the rules. Both sides of the LP are simultaneously cleaned and subsequently dried. Driven by two high-performance motors, the gentle fan-drying process promises significantly lower noise and no creation of static. Static electricity build-up has always been the unpleasant after-effect of record cleaning. Now, it's a thing of the past.

Regarding Cleaning and Care
In order to treat the vinyl as gently as possible, and create the best possible sound, the cleaning fluid, specifically developed for Vinyl Cleaner PRO, avoids the use of alcohol and instead relies on a mild biodegradable mixture with excellent cleaning properties and outstanding anti-static characteristics.

One container of cleaning fluid concentrate (2 are included with the machine) is enough to clean approximately 100-200 LPs (depending on the level of contamination). The wet filter is easy to clean. Just saturate it with distilled water and ring out. The inspection interval for the wet filter is identical to the replacement of the cleaning fluid. The four microfiber-cleaning barrels are extremely robust and therefore only need to be replaced after approximately 500 completed cleaning cycles.

From the designer:
Records are precious. Not only are they arguably the best-sounding medium for reproduced music, but they often constitute irreplaceable collections. Even with careful handling contamination cannot be avoided in the long term. It is also well known that residual compounds from the LP pressing process obscure inner detail unless removed by cleaning even new records.

Reiner Glass of Audiodesksysteme has developed a professional quality, easy to use record washing machine he call the "Vinyl Cleaner". The Vinyl Cleaner is fully automatic. The record is placed perpendicularly from above into the equipment opening and the red activation button is pressed. When the green LED shines, the clean LP can be removed. During the cleaning process rotary cleaning barrels made from a microfiber material move in opposite directions while a unique ultrasonic system carefully and thoroughly removes even the finest contaminants from the grooves. In use the cleaning solution is thoroughly filtered to avoid recontamination of the LP. Two high performance fans guarantee effective drying with quiet operation.

Cleaning Time: approx. 6 minutes

Brand Background:
Development of the Vinyl Cleaner took designer Reiner Gläss four long years beginning in 2006. The first prototype, about 6 months in, was a somewhat primitive "brute force" ultrasonic machine, actually quite similar to a couple of ultrasonic-only cleaning machines which are currently being marketed for LP cleaning by other companies. But brute force and the LP don't mix well. Keep in mind that the bottom of the LP groove where the pointy diamond wants to track, can be less than a half micron in size, and the modulations within the groove are even smaller and more fragile.

And so began 3 more years of R&D to reduce the ultrasonic power which needed to be applied for safe and effective LP cleaning.

The addition of four counter-rotating microfiber-covered barrels as the primary means for the surface cleaning of fingerprints, etc., allowed for a significant reduction in ultrasonic wattage, and also serves an important fluid management function by wicking the ultrasonic agitation away from the LP surface into the cleaning solution where contaminants can be filtered. This fluid management is important because otherwise the contaminants the ultrasonic vibration removes from the surface of the record can simply redeposit back onto the LP surface.
