Klaudio's silencer is a very high quality acoustic dampening case for the KD-CLN-LP200 ultrasonic record cleaner. With a substantial noise reduction down to approximately 50dBA, records can now be cleaned and dried nearby instead of in another room.
Andre Jennings of The Absolute Sound reviews Klaudio's 200W ultrasonic record cleaner in October 2014's issue:
Besides its ease of use, the Klaudio cleans records deep in the grooves better than any unit I've observed to date... This ultrasonic cleaning keeps instruments where they were, but allows the recording venue's full expanse and reverberant clarity to be heard more clearly. ...for me this unit has proven to be an unflagging asset in the enjoyment of vinyl playback.
Klaudio's ultrasonic record cleaner has been reviewed by Takahito Miura of Stereo Sound. (Quote below has been translated into English.):
I affirm the result of cleaning quality is extremely high-end. I have compared the quality of sound before and after cleaning. Undesirable noise has been overwhelmingly decreased, and the luster of LPs is revived as new.
If your company is a strong importer of audio brands and interested in offering the most advanced record cleaning machine available, please contact us for a potential distribution partnership. Klaudio is searching for international distributors outside of North America.
Klaudio's 45 rpm LP adapter for the ultrasonic cleaner should be available early next week. Customers can currently opt-in to receive a notification email upon arrival. (Klaudio's 10-inch adapter is expected a couple weeks later.)
Klaudio's 7 and 10-inch LP adapters are being delayed for additional improvements. This will unfortunately postpone their release until some time in 2014. Updates will be provided as soon as possible.
Klaudio would like to thank Positive-Feedback for their 2013 Writer's Choice Award!
And in my experience, no record cleaning machine does a better job of cleaning those new and used LPs than the Klaudio. This extremely well thought out and sturdily built machine has many things going for it ... ultrasonically cleaned records possess a sense of quietness, transparency, detail, dimensionality and information across the frequency spectrum that the best traditional scrub and vacuum machines only hint at. A must-have for all serious analog lovers.
Klaudio will be at The Home Entertainment Show from Jan. 7-10th in Las Vegas (during CES). Come see us in the Marketplace II / Red Rock VII area at the Flamingo Hotel for a free LP cleaning!
Klaudio will be handing out coupons to RMAF attendees, and displaying our upcoming 7-inch LP adapter. Come see us for a cleaning demonstration (Booth #14 in the Marriott lobby).
Myles B. Aster of Positive-Feedback.com has posted a review of Klaudio's KD-CLN-LP200 ultrasonic cleaner:
The Klaudio US machine appears to get more and more grime out of the record grooves—as well as increasing stylus/groove wall scanning contact time—resulting in more detailed bass, greater information retrieval, less smearing of transients, better instrumental dimensionality and greater retrieval of ambient space... The verdict? In this case, more is definitely better... If you really want to hear what your albums (and analog) are really capable of delivering, then you need to hear them cleaned on the new ultrasound record cleaning machine, and at that on the new Klaudio unit!
Klaudio's 200W ultrasonic cleaner was reviewed by Michael Fremer of Analogplanet.com:
...the KLAUDiO’s build quality is 'high grade industrial'...I liked the KLAUDiO’s rugged build quality, its quiet operation, its wash and dry time adjustability...
Klaudio will be attending Rocky Mountain Audio Fest at the Denver Marriott Tech Center Hotel from October 11-13. Come see us at Booth #14 in the main lobby!
