DS Audio SC-001 Sonic Record Brush

Great sound starts before the needle drops. The DS Audio SC-001 is the world’s first sonic-vibration cleaning brush, a groundbreaking approach to record care from the pioneers of optical cartridge technology. Where conventional brushes simply push dust across the record surface, the SC-001 reaches into the groove itself, restoring the record’s original sound before the stylus ever touches it.

At the core of the SC-001 is a vibrating brush head that generates approximately 11,000 vibrations per minute at 183 Hz, physically dislodging fine dust that ordinary brushes leave behind. This isn’t guesswork — DS Audio used high-sensitivity cameras to visualize dust on record surfaces and measured before-and-after cleaning results, testing multiple bristle materials to identify the one with the best dust removal performance.

Static is a longstanding enemy of clean vinyl, often undoing a brush’s work by re-attracting dust the moment it’s removed. The SC-001 tackles this with a two-step design: low-charging bristles that suppress static at the source, paired with conductive fibers that discharge whatever charge remains. A rear grounding bar lets you maintain contact for additional discharge while you clean.

Using the SC-001 couldn’t be simpler: no wet cleaning cycle, no waiting, no fluids or solvents — just place it on a spinning record, press the power button, and let sonic vibration do the work, dry, before every play.

For vinyl lovers who take their sound seriously, the SC-001 is an essential first step in every listening session — cleaner grooves, truer sound, every time.
