Audio Desk Systeme Vinyl Cleaner

This vinyl cleaning machine uses ultrasonic technology making it the most efficient and most effective LP cleaner on the market. The Audiodesksysteme Vinyl Cleaner was the original brand to introduce this technology 12 years ago. It is still the most efficient and easiest to use LP cleaner on the market.

High quality, reliable German engineering that is exceptionally simple in operation, Completely automatic and both sides are cleaned simultaneously. After a 5-6 minute cycle you have an ultra clean, dry LP.

An ultrasonic generator is used to excite the cleaning liquid bath that loosens dirt in the grooves. In addition, microscopic bubbles are created where a dirt particles sits at the groove surface that assist further in dislodging solid particles.

The designer, Reiner Glass, has experimented over the years with various levels of ultrasound and has found that a low energy generator is more efficient, and potentially less damaging to delicate vinyl surfaces than a high energy ultrasonic generator. The standard cleaning cycle is approximately 90 seconds and this can be extended incrementally by 60 seconds, up to 5 times, for very dirty LPs.

This contactless method of cleaning removes more dirt than conventional suction methods which most other LP cleaners are based on. The biggest test of efficiency is that this PRO ultrasonic cleaner produces significantly audible improvements in sound quality by cleaning LPs previously cleaned with any other vinyl cleaner.

Ultra clean LPs have a bigger sound stage, more dynamics, a more correct tonal balance, and reveal more detail. It is much more than just removing noise, the sound is audibly better. Ultra-clean surfaces also result in less stylus wear.

Superb results with both older, cherished LPs and with brand new pressings.

There has been a modification to the top plate of the latest generation of the PRO cleaner to accept the NEW 7" single adaptor kit. All units supplied from January 2018 accept this adaptor.

The new PRO X Vinyl Cleaner continues with the improved mechanical designs, including a better drive motor, pump with ceramic bearings and an additional drying process option. This designation is to celebrate Audiodesksysteme's 10th anniversary and is identical to the PRO 19 model supplied in 2019. Both the cleaning cycle and the drying cycle can now be extended. The cleaning action using ultrasonic energy remains the same as with the previous version although it is slightly more efficient and quieter in operation.

4 colour options are available: grey, black, white and red: please see gallery for images. The black is more of a dark grey than a solid black - an anthracite or graphite colour. Grey is a solid, mid grey colour; the white is also solid and looks elegant in the right setting. Red is also a solid colour.

What reviewers and our customers say:

Official 7" singles adaptor for Audiodesksysteme PRO cleaner

The original Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner PRO was a superb performer – and it still is, I might add. The PRO 2019 is that much better. It not only corrects some of the wrinkles from the original design, it cleans 7" singles properly and (mostly) efficiently but it improves upon the basic sound quality. Sound had a great 3D effect… as if the information presented to the ear was embossed. Music flowed very easily.

Paul Rigby – The Audiophile Man, October 2019

I have been using the AudioDeskSysteme cleaner over the weekend and I have to say that from the outset, it is probably one of the best investments/upgrades I have made. From never having cleaned a record before, I am now cleaning every record before playing. I have noticed a huge drop in the amount of background noise, pops and crackles etc, along with an more expansive sound and clarity of line. There also seems to be a depth of resolution and firmness of bass lines that I have not noticed before. Many thanks for your advice and supply of this unit.

Dr N D, Caerphilly, musician and composer

Since its initial release, Audiodesk Systeme has beefed up the drive mechanism, improved the pump, and switched to quieter fans, which makes the cleaner a little quieter and a lot more robust. By taking the drudgery out of the record cleaning process, all you get is joy.

Alan Sircom, HiFi + #172, May 2019

Apart from the removal of loose particles, it’s the embedded dirt that has, up until now, never been removed, and has proven resistant even to an expensive record cleaning machine. This is a true first for record cleaners. This, in vinyl terms, is revolutionary.

Paul Rigby, The Audiophile Man, December 2016

This arrived safely earlier in the week and yesterday I was able to get it going. As to its cleaning, well, it takes the vinyl out of vinyl! The sense I get is of being that much closer to the master tape, with all the benefits you mentioned. It's like a very good cartridge upgrade. With my system there is now an even greater sense of neutrality and transparency than before, like looking into the recording venue.

Mr JL, Hertfordshire

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how delighted I am with the Audiodesksysteme PRO Vinyl Cleaner. I feel as if I've either had a big cartridge upgrade or - more importantly - a whole new record collection. Not does it only reduce or eliminate surface noise, it also brings out more detail and ups the boogie factor - I'm hearing some much-loved LPs as I never have before. What's more it's compact, easy to use and automatic (and after just two weeks I've cleaned well over 200 LPs). I think it's the best investment I've made in hardware since I bought my LP12 back in 1988 - it really is that good!

Mr KW, London

The Audio Desk Systeme cleaner turned up, was simple to set up and I have not used CDs since. I play one track of a record, clean it and end up playing it all. Whilst I needed a cleaning machine, I was sceptical of some of the claims in reviews... there is a change in every record cleaned so far. My non-HiFi brother referred to space, room, air and bass clarity from Joan Armatrading's "Show Some Emotion". I noticed clearer fingering of the guitar as well. It's obvious that cleaner records give better music… many thanks.

Mr A M, Bristol

The Audio Desk Systeme cleaner is a revelation. This little machine makes the vinyl "better than new" - hard to believe, but absolutely true. It radically improves old and dirty records and the sound improvement – miraculous. This is not a "I think there may be an improvement there" but rather a game changer of an improvement. It works remarkable well on brand new unplayed records - just listening to one side of a new record with no cleaning and the other having been cleaned - way different! Anyone who has a large and cherished record collection deserves one of these. Thanks.

Dr M W, Anglesey

Just a note to say that the Cleaning Machine arrived safely this morning and from the few disks I have cleaned with it, I am pleased to say that the results are very impressive. I have a few disks that are around 50 years old that weren't really playable but after cleaning in the machine they are almost like new disks. Amazing!

Mr A K, Bromley

The cleaner is extremely good at cleaning extraordinary amounts of deep-groove crud out of what seem like clean records.
