Smart Matrix Silent From Clearaudio
11th February 2019
The new Clearaudio Smart Matrix Silent record cleaning machine offers a multifunctional cleaning, vacuum and antistatic arm
The 10.9kg Smart Matrix Silent spans 345 x 345 x 234mm. It features a single arm with a built-in a sliding record size selector, enabling you to clean 12” LPs, 10” EPs and 7” singles. The arm, chassis and accompanying SMS Seal record clamp (that holds the record firmly in place) are all machined from solid aluminium.
There’s plenty of automation within this design. For example, to start the machine you swing the cleaning/vacuum arm above the platter. Pressing it down onto the record, the platter rotates and the machine automatically applies a small dose of cleaning fluid (you can add more, if you wish).
Featuring a 500W vacuum motor, the unit includes an integrated, pump-action cleaning fluid applicator, started via the touch of a button.
Other features include bi-directional rotation to allow records to be cleaned in either or both, directions.
Available in silver or black finish, the price is £1,375. Optional dust cover is £125.
