The Sweep-IT E is a high-quality record cleaning arm, bringing convenience, great sound and longevity to vinyl record playing systems at an attractive price.
Cleaning a record collection can be tiresome, time-consuming or just difficult to keep up with; but it’s an essential task if you want to ensure the best possible sound quality and guarantee a long stylus life. A key part of good maintenance is keeping dust out of the grooves, as too much debris in a record groove can easily stick to the pick-up stylus and cause unwanted artifacts in the sound. There are many ways to reduce the amount of dust inside a record groove, but few are as convenient as Sweep-IT E, Pro-Ject says.
As opposed to almost every other cleaning solution, which requires the user to clean the records while they’re not playing, Sweep-IT E cleans in real time, just before the groove reaches the cartridge. The user only needs to position Sweep-IT E on the turntable and make sure that the brush is placed in front of the needle when the record starts.
Sweep-IT E is made from aluminum for its lightweight-yet-durable properties, to ensure a long cleaning life. With a heavyweight base that sits directly on any turntable, the uni-pivot arm navigates the records just like a tonearm, with minimal resistance. The soft hair-brush has been purpose-chosen to ensure records remain unharmed and the playback speed remains stable. For times when the Sweep-IT E is not needed, it has a dedicated arm rest for convenient storage.
