remove all such contaminants from the grooves of your records.
Please read these instructions carefully to ensure correct operation and to achieve the
best possible cleaning results.

double matrix professional SONIC

and is designed for intensive and continuous use. The chassis, cleaning, vacuum and antistatic
arms, as well as the Seal record clamp are machined from solid aluminium. The chassis is lined with
acoustic damping pads to keep operational noise to a minimum.
Our quality standard is reected in a warranty of 3 years, provided that the completed warranty card

We thank you for your purchase and hope you enjoy using your new

3. Setup of the
double matrix professional SONIC
Take the already assembled
double matrix professional SONIC
record cleaning machine from its
packaging. Set it on a stable and horizontal surface (such as a desk or rack).
Please note that due to the weight of the record cleaning machine, the feet of the device can cause
marks on soft surfaces. Due to the warm air outlet on the bottom of the
double matrix professional
SONIC
, the surface on which it rests should be heat resistant to a minimum of 60°C.
3.1 Connect to the mains supply
To avoid using an additional extension cable, place the

SONIC
and then to the electrical wall outlet. Press the switch on the IEC socket and position it to “I”.
Please read the whole user manual before cleaning your rst record.
Note: Voltages are referenced to EU countries with 230V mains power.
In other countries the mains voltage and frequency may vary (e.g. USA 115V/60Hz.)
The correct operating voltage can be found on the back of the device on the product
information label (Pic. 1).
The mains cable supplied should be of the type appropriate for your country. Please ensure that the
