Whether you’re a longtime vinyl enthusiast or just beginning your collection, taking proper care of your records is essential. While careful vinyl storage and handling go a long way, Sweetwater’s record collectors know all too well how easily dust, grime, and imperceptible elements can seriously reduce the lifetime of your prized tunes. Don’t worry; Audio-Technica’s AT6012 Record Care Kit has you covered. The included solution has been carefully formulated to eradicate dust, contaminants, static electricity, and fingerprints, all without compromising the material integrity of your vinyl EPs and LPs. Once applied, the Sonic Broom brush pad’s velvet cleaning surface delicately reaches into the finest depths of the record’s surface grooves; the brush is also designed to direct fluid into its inner reservoir from the pad’s leading edge, ensuring no residue is left behind and multiple passes are not required. Finally, the provided storage base can be used to clean the brush pad. When you’re finished, your records will be raring to rock, ensuring a vastly extended lifespan for both records and styli, in addition to maximizing record fidelity and improving tracking.





Note: This cleaning solution was formulated for specific use with EPs and LPs. Please contact your Sales Engineer with any questions or concerns regarding cleaning applications.
