Seasoned and casual collectors of vinyl records understand the importance of safeguarding your sound, but all too often are cartridges and styli overlooked, and for understandable reasons: they’re delicate components that need to be properly calibrated to produce sound and avoid damaging your records. Fortunately, Audio-Technica's AT617a Cartridge Stylus Cleaner was developed to assuage this issue, thanks to decades of full-spectrum turntable and DJ expertise. The AT617a features a polyurethane gel that was meticulously engineered with a special formulation to carefully remove dust or dirt particles from the tip of your stylus. Instantly eradicate unwanted contaminates with this gel and you’re immediately ready to throw on your favorite tracks. Plus, the gel is designed to remain tacky and pliable for years. What’s more, Sweetwater vinyl aficionados appreciate that the surface can be washed for repeated use over an expanded lifespan. Not only does the AT617a keep your stylus in tip-top shape, but it will increase audio fidelity and extend the life of your prized discs by massively reducing the impact of regular listening.

Note: AT617a surface should be cleaned exclusively with water, then left to air dry with the lid removed until moisture is completely evaporated. Do not wash with chemical cleaners, detergent, or alcohol. Do not wipe the gel with any type of cloth or additional product. Please contact your Sales Engineer with any questions regarding cleaning or upkeep.
