Analog Relax Anti-Static Record Brush
Did you know that a record could collect 3,000~20,000V static electricity on its surface when it is taken out of the sleeve? The move of just taking out of the sleeve could generate such amount of static. This is because of the friction between the disc and the inner sleeve when they are pulled apart.
The static electricity collects all the dust floating around you to your disc surface. The dusts attached to the disc are real pain. If you wipe them off, they just come back on the record immediately.
Why? Because of the static electricity. You cannot be free from the dust unless you are free from the static.
The brush uses ultra-fine static elimination fibers with only 0.03mm in diameter.
When the brush touches the record surface, it neutralizes the static charged on the disc in a corona discharge mechanism.
The material was developed by Japanese high-tech textile manufacturer, for industrial applications, and is often used for eliminating static in clean rooms or in the process of removing dusts before painting in many electronic devices factories.
Analog Relax anti-static brush is the first consumer product using this special fiber material.
The size of a typical LP record groove is 0.05mm.
The thin fiber of our anti-static brush is only 0.03mm in diameter and well capable of sweeping out the tiny dust particles in the groove.
Widely-used carbon fiber brushes may look like the same, but the fibers are completely different.
Here is our explanation about the difference between carbon brushes and Analog Relax anti-static brush.
Difference of the electrostatic removal brush for records
Capturing static dust
Look at the image of magnified fiber surface
The microscopic indentions on the surface can effectively capture the static dusts, both fibrous and granular. (Does not work on sticky dirt such as oily stain, mold, fingerprint, etc.)
Ultra-light weight: 20g
We made the brush ultra light for easy and comfortable brush handling on the records.
Safe design
Conventional anti-static brushes for audio equipment use 2 types of fibers in general.
Carbon fiber
Fiber with conductive coating
These types are highly conductive, causing troubles like a short circuit when a piece of fiber comes off the brush and gets inside the equipment.
Analog Relax anti-static brush is designed to deliberately keep the conductive rate low enough to avoid short circuit even when a fiber piece comes into the audio equipment.
