Description

It generates positive and negative ions to neutralize and remove the static charge from vinyl records.

Vinyl records have a surface static electricity charge created by friction. Two common sources of the friction that creates static build-up are the stylus drag that occurs during record playback as well as simply removing records from their jacket and sleeve. By emitting both positive and negative ions in a controlled fashion from its dual outlets, the ION-001 ionizer unit effectively neutralizes and removes static electricity from the record surface. The unique “fanless” design allows for silent operation for continuous use while playing records. Additionally, the ION-001 performs charge removal for Compact Discs.

Note: The degree of electrostatic charge may vary depending on factors including stylus tip shape, vinyl record material, temperature and humidity, etc.

The ION-001 is a very high-power device, equipped with a total of 4 ionizers, 2 each for positive and negative ions. The ION-001 utilizes a specialized power supply controller which suppresses the generation of excess ozone, preventing unwanted oxidation.

The architectural tower design provides placement of the ION-001 next to your turntable for quick installation, allowing easy changing of vinyl records. The tower design is effective with a wide range of turntables featuring overall platter height up to 18cm or 7″. With turntables exceeding this platter height, please use a base/riser to properly position the ION-001.
