NEW DS SC-001 Sonic Record Cleaning Brush
The SC-001 Sonic Cleaning Brush is a sonic-vibration record cleaning brush, where the bristles vibrate 11,000 times per minute. Even the fine dust clinging to the record groove, which an ordinary brush cannot remove, is physically loosened and lifted away by the vibrating bristles.
Optimal brush material selected through measured dust removal performance
The brush material for the SC-001 was determined through rigorous quantitative analysis. Using high-sensitivity cameras to visualize dust particles on record surfaces, DS Audio measured residual dust levels before and after cleaning. Multiple candidate materials were compared based on their actual dust removal rates, and only the material that demonstrated the highest performance was adopted. The “optimal brush material for vibration” can only be derived through measurement under actual vibration. This data-driven approach forms the foundation of the SC-001's exceptional dust removal performance, which measurably exceeds that of the competitors’ brushes tested.

Dual static suppression: Low-charging bristles and conductive fibres
Records become statically charged when removed from their sleeves and during brush cleaning. Further static is induced by the LP rotating on certain platter mats made from synthetic materials. In comparative testing, conventional brushes without anti-static functionality showed little reduction in static charge — in some cases, the friction increased it. Even brushes with anti-static functionality achieved only partial reduction in dust levels, falling short of complete elimination. The SC-001 addresses this through a two-stage approach: low-charging bristle material suppresses new static generation at the source, while conductive fibres integrated at the rear of the vibration drive unit to discharge any built-up static on the record.
This runs from 3 x AAA batteries to make use simple. The brush material is replaceable, for long term enjoyment.
