Editors' Choice Award 2017 – The Absolute Sound Magazine
"Extremely Well Made, Quiet" – Michael Fremer, AnalogPlanet.com
Keeping vinyl records clean is key to maintaining a high quality record collection and getting the best sound. Clearaudio’s research and development team continues to create advanced equipment for the job. They developed their first double-sided record cleaning machine over 10 years ago. The new Double Matrix Professional Sonic is their best solution to date.
Clearaudio's Double Matrix Professional Sonic Record Cleaning Machine was honored with an Editors' Choice award for 2017 by The Absolute Sound magazine. “Built like a tank and easy to use, this is a high-quality record cleaner,” notes reviewer Jonathan Valin.
"The machine is extremely well-made, quiet and seems to do the job as claimed based on the record I had cleaned on it," reports Michael Fremer in his January 7, 2015 CES show review for AnalogPlanet.com. "Also it is completely automatic: place a record on the platter, clamp and at the push of a button, it goes through the complete cleaning cycle simultaneously on both sides."
The Double-Sided Cleaning Advantage
The Double Matrix Professional Sonic machine excels at thoroughly and safely cleaning your precious vinyl records. One reason for its top-of-the-line cleaning capabilities is its simultaneous double-sided record cleaning. The advantages of a double-sided record cleaning machine include time savings and the significant benefit of protecting the cleaned record side from being in contact with a dirty surface.
Selectable Automatic and Manual Cleaning Modes
With its selectable automatic and manual modes, the Double Matrix Professional Sonic allows you to run the entire cleaning cycle at the touch of a button, or you can manually control each step of the process via the user-friendly controls. Automatic cleaning is available in both normal and 2x mode for records requiring extra maintenance. Wash and vacuum cycles are bi-directional and you can control both platter direction and speed during wash and vacuum cycles. An anti-static brush prevents static build-up on your cleaned discs.
New Articulated Washing and Vacuuming System
Clearaudio has created a new articulating washing/vacuuming system that incorporates sonic vibrations to better deep scrub the record groove. These cleaning applicators automatically adapt to different thickness records, assuring better performance and ease of use.
Clearaudio’s R&D team has learned that this approach performs a more thorough job of cleaning without risking damage to the vinyl record, versus ultrasonic cleaners commonly used to clean hard materials such as jewelry and glass. The sonically articulating cleaning pads can be easily removed for washing as well as replacing the micro-felt strips.
Made from Heavy-Duty Materials for Continuous Operation
This isn't a professional-quality record cleaning machine in name only. Made from high quality heavy-duty materials, the Double Matrix Professional Sonic is specially designed for continuous operation. An LED “light ladder” indicates the cleaning fluid level in the internal reservoir, and as an additional precaution, the vacuum turbine features overheating protection. Its attractive and rugged casework looks at home with your audio system and reduces ambient noise levels. Now you can clean an entire record collection with a machine that is incredibly easy to use and maintain.
