Vinyl Cleaning Tutorial | Audio-Technica Record Care

This video gives instructions on how to clean your records with Audio-Technica's vinyl care products so you can prolong the life of your records, turntable, and styli.

The AT6011a anti-static record brush removes harmful dust and contaminants from your vinyl records, and its conductive synthetic fibers help to dissipate static and prolong the life of your records and styli.

The AT6013a Dual-Action Anti-Static Record Cleaner provides dual-action cleaning power that prolongs the life of your records and styli, and improves your listening experience. The cleaner is comprised of two carbon-fiber brushes, situated on either side of a central velvet pad, and all work together to collect dust and other contaminants in a single pass over a record. The anti-static brush fibers remain straight for deep cleaning of the record groove. This brush also includes a metal guard bracket to protect the brushes and pad when not in use.

Microdust and contaminants can cause wear and tear on your records and stylus and diminish sound quality. The AT6012 Record Care Kit is designed to gently remove contaminates while improving record fidelity and tracking. The AT6012 Record Care Kit contains our Audio-Technica Record Care Solution (2 FL. OZ), Sonic Broom brush pad, storage base, and double-sided adhesive tape.

This video says five drops of the solution in the each of the two holes, but the back of the box says to use 2ml between the two holes. Which is the proper way?

Hi, I have the AT-6011a and when I use the brush as instructed, the dust on the record forms a line where I placed it. It rarely collects the dust and actually removes it from the record. 

When I brush the collected dust after it's done moving kind of . But leaves unsightly marks on the record. Is there any way to prevent this?

[jungle_cs]

How many records is the deep clean good for before you need to apply more solution? Or is it good for just side a and b of a disk and then you need to re fill it?

[TeeDE]

Unfortunately, it leaves fibers on the plate.

Just bought the AT6012 Record Cleaning Kit today, and it looks like the velvet pad on the brush doesn't get moistened after I drop the solution into the holes... Not even in 5 or 10 min time. What might be the problem here?

[andylee]

If I use the sonic broom and then wipe the excess dust off, will the brush still be wet enough for me to clean another record? And how long will the record take to dry generally?

[robinbergersen]

If you have a automatic turntable, how do you just keep it to spin without letting the pin to drop?

[nignaggin]

Is there a correct position for the at6013a? It sometimes makes a loud squeak/scratching noise when lowered on a spinning record.

[samysnes]

Can the 6012 be used for dry cleaning?

[goingefishingteam]

After cleaning with AT6012 cleaning kit, how long time should I wait before playing the record?

[raffaelefilella]

Could someone tell me how to make the vinyl spin without playing the record as shown in the video? I have an audio technica atlp60x

[zenthicshadow]

Hi! I need an answer. Can I use the 6012 without the cleaning solution? Thanks!

[Ascorbicon]

If I have the AT6012 CLEANING kit do I need to buy an anti-static brush or no?

[Milk_slurper]

can you use a velvet brush without any solution?

[johnzamora]

The AT6013a is the single most useless product I've ever bought and that's saying something. It doesn't clean AT ALL, causes insane amounts of static and even scratches records.

[asylumrain]

All these seem to do is just pile the dust up. I have no idea how to clean these and it’s annoying af
