Cleaning records before use increases the life of the diamond and preserves the listening experience! The Ortofon Record Brush effectively removes dust and dirt from the record surface without scratching it. It features two rows of tightly bonded carbon fiber bristles that gently remove dirt and dust from the record surface. The injection-molded portion is made of a conductive plastic that prevents static buildup, while the shield is designed to clean and protect the carbon fiber bristles. Ortofon's Record Brush is an essential accessory for any vinyl and music lover and was designed by "Møller Jensen Innovation and Design", the same company that designed the vintage "MC Jubilee", the classic "Counterpoint", the "2M" series and the "Concorde MKII" cartridge series.
