Notes: Pro-quality record cleaning system from Dutch vinyl specialists Tonar. Ultrasonic cleaning aims to remove dust and dirt without damaging the grooves. Highly effective, gentle care for 7-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch records.

Supplier's Notes:
The Tonar Knosti Disco-Antistat Ultrasonic vinyl washing machine combines high-tech ultrasonic cleaning with the proven goat hair brush system. This ensures gentle, groove-deep cleaning of your records and an audible improvement in the sound image. During operation, the special anti-static cleaning fluid is permanently clarified by a filter system and dirt particles are filtered out to minimise impurities in the fluid and thus achieve the best possible cleaning result.

The Tonar-Knosti Disco-Antistat Ultrasonic set includes:
Ultrasonic record washer
200ml cleaning concentrate Disco-Antistat Ultraclean
1 litre Disco-Antistat BiDest, high-purity water
1 microfibre cloth
Label cover incl. axle with magnetic coupling
Power supply 230 VAC/12 VDC 3A
1 drying stand
1 sponge brush
1 Mixing bottle (for preparing the cleaning liquid from Disco-Antistat Ultraclean and Disco-Antist BiDest)

Some features of the Tonar Knosti Disco-Antistat Ultraclean: The cleaning time can be conveniently adjusted to the degree of soiling of the record, supported by a functional display. A clearly visible progress indicator informs about the cleaning status at a glance.

After use, the aged cleaning liquid can be conveniently filled back into the bottle at the touch of a button via a built-in pump. The permanent filtering of the cleaner prevents the liquid from accumulating dirt. Thus, a consistent cleaning result is achieved.

Thanks to the innovative magnetic coupling, inserting and removing the record is quick and easy. Driven by an electric motor, the record rotates evenly in the tank, thus achieving a homogeneous treatment with ultrasound.

What is Ultrasonic cleaning?

Ultrasonic cleaning works through high-frequency sound waves transmitted through liquid to scrub clean the surface of immersed parts. The high-frequency sound waves agitate the liquid solution, and cause the 'cavitation' of the solution's molecules. Cavitation means that bubbles are formed when sonic energy creates a void (or cavity) which gets trapped as a bubble in the liquid.
These microscopic bubbles implode with such force that contaminants adhering to surfaces are dislodged.

Hence, through ultrasonic cleaning, surfaces are cleaned through implosions of tiny bubbles.

The Tonar Knosti Disco-Antistat has a powerful ultrasonic transducer that generates the cavitation bubbles that act directly on removing the dirt from the record. The ultrasonic waves also reach places that are inaccessible to conventional cleaning methods and ensure cleanliness down to the depth of the groove. The loosened dirt particles are then wiped off on the well-known Disco-Antistat soft goat hair brushes.

Notes: Featuring a new cabinet, improved motor and a magnetic clamp to secure your record and speed up the cleaning process, the VC-S3 is Pro-Ject's flagship record cleaner, designed for larger collections. Great quality, great cleaning power.

Supplier's Notes:
The new VC-S3 is Pro-Ject's new premium record cleaning machine with completely new superior features. Vinyl records need a specific maintenance. The dry brush cleaning before playing the record is good to roughly remove dust. To effectively clean the grooves you need to wet clean the record. To achieve the perfect cleaning we also need a suitable cleaning fluid. Alcoholic cleaning fluids can destroy musical micro information of the grooves. That's the reason why Pro-Ject's designed our new eco-friendly non-alcoholic cleaning fluid called "Wash it 2". The new Wash it 2 is a pre-mixed liquid, so you don't have to dilute the concentrate yourself anymore. This avoids acidentally using unsuitable tap water for mixing. With Wash it 2 you can optimize the cleaning performance again. The VC-S3 is very powerful and cleans records completely in one to two revolutions.

Made in Europe!

The new magnetic clamp not only seals the record label from cleaning fluid to avoid damage on the label, it also speeds up the whole cleaning process. Place your record on the machine, put on the clamp and you are ready to go - no more tedious screwing of the clamp anymore. The robust easy to use metal arm is mechanically stable and focuses all suction power directly onto the record surface. Paired with new self-adhesive arm strip your records get cleaned perfectly. The large internal container (2,5 litres) collects used fluid and is effortlessly easy to empty. When using the Wash it 2 cleaning solution, the fluid will also evaporate in the container, meaning the container will almost never need to be emptied even after cleaning thousands of records. It shows fill-up capacity and guarantees no spillage of used cleaning fluid. The new VC-S3 is made in Europe with high quality materials and an excellent build-quality. With many practical features and excellent mechanical operation, the VC-S3 effectively combines industrial design appeal with an easy solution to great sound from your vinyl records.
