Needle Care

Every DJ knows about the problems of distorted sound and cue burn. When your sound becomes muddy and muffled and the brightness of the high end is gone, it is time to clean your needle. These photos show the problems of dirt and debris build up on your needle. If left on the needle, that build up will shorten the life of your needle and lead to record wear. The Stanton SC-4 cleaner kit contains a specially formulated fluid to safely dissolve the caked-on contamination around the needle. Then the unique controlled penetration bristles of the brush will sweep and remove the debris that remains without any damage to the needle. Clean needles mean clean sound.

Needle Wear

The smallest part of your system is also the most critical. When your needle is dirty, your sound is dirty and you are adding extra wear to your vinyl. When the dirt builds up enough to give distorted sound, your customers will turn you off. These photos show the difference between clean and dirty needles. Keep your needles clean with regular use of the Stanton SC-4 cleaning kit. Your records live in a very rough environment, constant use, constant exposure to cigarette smoke and fog contamination, dirt scratches and the too often spilled drink. All of these things contribute to pops, clicks, static and cue burn which add up to poor sound.

Record Care

Every DJ knows about the problems associated with pops, clicks, static and cue burn. They detract from your sound and from your appearance as a professional. Finally, they cost more of your hard earned money when you have to replace that vinyl. Now you don't have to put up with those annoyances. Pops and clicks are caused by dirt and debris that is attracted to the vinyl surface. This attraction is mainly caused by the static charge that builds up on your vinyl disk. Other factors are the contaminates in the smoke and fog inside the club or dance floor, as well as the inevitable spilled drink. The Stanton VC-1 vinyl cleaner kit was designed to combat those problems that plague the DJ. The cleaning fluid is specially formulated to reduce the static on your vinyl. It also gets down into the grooves and lifts the dirt and debris so that the unique unidirectional velvet pile brush can lift and sweep them away. This cleaning fluid is strong enough to clean away even a sticky drink, but safe enough to protect your vinyl. It leaves no film or other contaminates behind. Clean vinyl means clean sound.
