Regardless of whether your record is brand new or a classic from years ago, employing a cleaning brush can significantly enhance the listening experience. The Boundless Audio brush is designed with carbon fiber bristles that penetrate deeply into the grooves of your album to dislodge accumulated dust, dirt, and hair. These soft bristles effectively clean without posing any risk of damage to your records. Our recommendation for the Boundless Audio brush stems from its anti-static and electrically conductive properties; static electricity can attract dust particles, making this brush a proactive safeguard against future buildup. To properly use the brush, set your record on the turntable and switch it on. Position your brush at a right angle, allowing the record to rotate beneath it. The technique involves sweeping the brush gently from the inner grooves to the outer edges as the record spins. A crucial point to remember is to avoid applying excessive pressure. While the brush is explicitly crafted for vinyl records, applying too much force can harm the grooves and inadvertently push dirt back into them. A light touch is key for the best results, and with this approach, your records will benefit from a thorough clean. After you have given the record a good swipe or two, return the brush to its holster. This action will cause the carbon fiber bristles to brush against the compartment, effectively removing any remaining dust. It’s important not to touch the brush with your fingers since the natural oils from your skin can transfer to the bristles, eventually contaminating your records during future cleanings.

Question: How do I use Audio-Technica record cleaning products?

Answer: Over time, dust and other contaminants on a vinyl record can detract from sound quality, lead to premature wear, and even harm the stylus of your turntable. Audio-Technica offers a range of cleaning products designed to elevate your vinyl listening experience, including the ATa Anti-Static Record Brush, ATa Anti-Static Record Cleaner, and AT Record Care Kit.

The ATa anti-static brush is perfect for light cleaning of newer vinyl records. Its conductive synthetic fibers effectively eliminate surface dust from the grooves, enhancing tracking and sound fidelity. Importantly, this brush is intended for dry cleaning only; avoid applying any liquids to it.

1. Begin by setting the record in motion on the turntable.
2. Adjust the protective cover to expose the anti-static brush. While holding the cleaner firmly, position it perpendicularly to the record surface.
3. Gently lower the brush onto the rotating record, allowing the fibers to softly scrub the grooves.
4. Upon finishing, touch the cleaner's brush to the center spindle to dissipate any static electricity.
5. Lastly, clean the brush by moving it back and forth against the protective cover. Ensure you store the ATa with the protector covering the brush.
