Powder coated casing.

Starting in October 2024, all new Degritter Mark II machines will feature an upgraded casing with textured powder coating.

This improvement eliminates common issues such as greasy fingerprints, water stains, and scratches, making it easier than ever to keep the machine looking pristine. Our updated casings in classic black and new gunmetal silver offer increased durability and better resistance to everyday wear.

Additionally, the new casing no longer requires an AC switch. Our machines will now automatically detect voltage, seamlessly switching between 120V and 230V. This update adds an extra layer of protection, helping prevent potential damage caused by incorrect power settings.

Why the Change?

We’ve listened to feedback from our customers, and many found the previous anodized surface a bit tricky to maintain. By switching to powder coating, we’re offering a thicker, more resilient finish that is not only easier to clean but also resistant to UV radiation and scratches.

Degritter MARK II offers sophisticated ultrasonic cleaning and smart functionalities for more convenient use.

New features:
• Ultrasonic Power Drive 2.0 – stronger, but safe for the record
• Pulse Mode cleaning – better cleaning effect, low power consumption
• Polished exterior design – in keeping with our high design standards

Designed For You:

DISTINCTLY AUTOMATIC
The Degritter is fully automatic, requiring no additional effort after the cleaning cycle has started. Use the free time for listening to records instead of cleaning them.

SIMPLE WATER MANAGEMENT
The machine has a convenient removable water
tank for replacing cleaning water.

PERFECT TOUCH BUTTONS
We have perfected the feel and function of the machine’s buttons. The rotations and presses provide most satisfying feel you will be unable to let go of.

Clever Features:

ACTIVE FILTERING
Cleaning water is pumped through a replaceable filter during washing. Continuous filtration keeps removed dirt from ending back up on the record.

RECORD SAFE
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Degritter monitors water temperature and
prevents it from rising to levels harmful for vinyl records. High temperatures are managed by automatic cooling cycles.

SMART DRYING
Records are dried by a flow of filtered air. Both the drying time and fan speed can be adjusted to keep noise levels in check and to prevent static electricity build up.

POSTWASH RINSE OPTION
Degritter supports rinsing records during washing cycles with the help of a separate water tank.

Ultrasonic Cleaning Architecture:

4 TRANSDUCER LAYOUT
Ultrasonic cleaning tank that’s in Degritter is purpose built for vinyl records. The tank has two ultrasonic transducers on either side emitting 120 kHz ultrasonic vibrations, evenly distributing the cleaning energy across the record’s surface.

Power DriveTM 2.0 – NEW!

Pulse Mode – NEW!:
Pulse Mode cleaning is a feature offered by the Power Drive 2.0 ultrasonic generator. During pulsing, ultrasonic transducers rapidly switch on and off at high power. This gives enhanced cavitation in water, but keeps the average power consumption low.

Frequency Sweep:
The driving frequency of the Power Drive
ultrasonic generator sweeps between 120-125 kHz.
This evens the cavitation energy distribution in
the water, minimizing losses and giving an
uniform cleaning action.

300 Watts:
The average power output of all the washing programs is 300 W. This makes Degritter the most powerful ultrasonic record cleaner on the market per litre of water. The higher 120 kHz driving frequency keeps your records safe.

Disk Union official Record Cleaner "Reco-Clean".

Its high penetrating power quickly penetrates deep into the sound grooves, and its strong reducing power envelopes dirt and peels it off from the surface.
Since it powerfully removes mold and fine dust adhering to the sound grooves, it is highly effective in reducing noise caused by dirt.
It also has an extremely high antistatic effect compared to water. Furthermore, it also has a sterilizing and deodorizing effect.

*Not applicable for SP Records (78rpm disc)

VOLUME: 200ml

- 3 Main Features as a Professional Cleaner -

Superior Workability - A simple and fast single component liquid cleaner developed by Disk Union for professional use.

Maintain Sound Quality - Provides quality cleaning without affecting the sound quality. Restores the original sound of the record.

Harmless and Environmentally Friendly - It eliminates the rist of caustic soda production, which is a problem with inexpensive alkaline electrolytic water, and does not contain any other harmful chemical products such as mineral oil-based cleaning ingredients, surfactant, bleach, alcohol and ozone.

Reco-Clean, a cleaner developed by Disk Union exclusively for professional use for vinyl records, is highly effective in reducing noise caused by dirt in the sound grooves.
It is designed to balance cleaning power and sound quality to avoid adverse effects on sound quality.
Normally, Reco-Clean alone is effective enough, but we have developed a special additive (cleaning booster) as a countermeasure for stubborn stains that cannot be removed easily.

How to use
1. Apply a small drop of Reco-Clean PLUS to the required area.
2. Wipe off with a Reco-Cloth, pressing it lightly against the surface of the record as if polishing it.
3. Clean the entire surface again with regular Reco-Clean.
4. Wipe off completely with the Reco-Cloth.

*Always re-clean (rinse) with regular Reco-Clean after use.

The WARM4 is a professional analogue rotary DJ mixer with four channels, developed and produced by ECLER in Barcelona.
It has 4 phono/line channels, 2 microphone inputs, classic sharp filters and a 4th order isolator. The WARM4 also includes a unique feature: an analogue subharmonics synthesizer that can be selected per channel and is specifically designed to generate and amplify ultra-low frequencies.
The WARM4 is ECLER's latest analogue rotary mixer, inspired by New York's disco "Paradise Garage", also referred to by François Kevorkian as the "Temple of Music", whose influence has been instrumental in shaping some of today's best clubs. Designed and manufactured in the Barcelona factory, the WARM4 is a mixer that keeps the classic structure of ECLER mixers in mind, but incorporates completely redesigned circuitry and mechanics. This ranges from new circuit boards that further improve the noise floor and dynamic range, to the rotary pots that are carefully hand-assembled by our production team.
Staying true to the innovative spirit since the first A4 mixer in 1971, ECLER presents a DJ tool never before included in a mixer: an analogue subharmonics synthesiser. Inspired by the original device from the "Paradise Garage" DJ booth, we have developed our own circuit that allows the subharmonic generator to be tuned to different frequencies so that the DJ can adapt it individually to the track and the respective sound system.
The WARM4 also features the 4th order isolator already included in the WARM2, as well as 4 mixing channels, 3-band equaliser with full cut per channel and high quality potentiometers from Alps with metal axis. Using an external effects module has also never been easier. The WARM4 can output a PRE/POST fader signal and lets you control and pre-listen to the return signal.
The WARM4 is designed specifically for sound systems that can reproduce subsonic frequencies - for clubs, festivals and events where bass response is crucial.
Unleash a whole new dancefloor experience and take the music experience to the next level!

Analog and simply good - We are resurrecting the old treasures from your childhood and youth

Long awaited and available from the end of February / beginning of March in two different colors. In black / white and in sky blue / silver.

Anyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s will remember the feeling when the presenter on the radio messed up the beginning or end of a track when recording a mixtape. That was annoying.

You were all the more proud when you were able to capture the latest hits of the 80s on tape without interruption.

Bring these treasures and your old radio play collections back to life with the FiiO CP13.

But why did FiiO of all companies come up with the idea of bringing this topic back to life? The answer to this question is quite simple.

Since its inception fifteen years ago, FiiO has been dedicated to the amplification and high-quality reproduction of analog audio signals. The common intersection of this classic and modern digital theme is therefore tailor-made for FiiO. We can therefore look forward to an old idea in a new guise.

One of the best features is certainly the significantly increased output power compared to before. This means that the FiiO CP13 is also capable of driving sophisticated hi-fi headphones.

Since the FiiO CP13 is essentially about classic and analog playback, FiiO has decided not to implement Bluetooth. Digitizing a good analogue audio signal and transmitting it via Bluetooth would not do justice to the spirit of the cassette era.

Specifications:
• Mechanical logic core
• Copper flywheel
• Audio output: 3.5mm stereo jack
• Dimensions: approximately 120mm x 88.3mm x 31.8mm
• Output voltage: >250mV
• SNR: 55dB
• Weight: approximately 310g
• Battery capacity: 1800mAh
• Playing time: >13 hours @40mV

The FLUX-Hifi VINYL-BRUSH is designed to free the record on the turntable from surface dust and static charging. A completely new design combines velvet pads with an integrated carbon brush. The special office ensures a flat cleaning of the plate surface, dust particles are completely removed. The carbon brush prevents static charging of the record. How crackling and crackling noises are minimized and prevents further dusting of the record. Only when the LP is free of dust can the pickup system control the record without noise and Scan distortions. For cleaning the needle, we recommend the FLUX-Sonic, the innovative electronic needle cleaner.

History
The history of vibration needle cleaners goes back to the 1970s. There were devices from various companies which, at high frequency, transmitted through a liquid, detached the contamination of the needle. After the release of the CD and falling turntable sales in the 80s and especially in the 90s, these devices disappeared from the market. Unfortunately for many record listeners, this was not reissued due to the high cost. FLUX-HiFi took up this idea with the SONIC and developed the technology anew. The result is fantastic!

The cleaning
The stylus is the primary component in the playback process. The movement by which tension is later induced arises here. The goal is to exactly follow the groove in the micrometer range. In order to achieve this perfectly, the manufacturers of pickups make great efforts. However, if the needle is dirty, the diamond , no matter how polished and ground it is – cannot exactly follow the deflection. It reacts too early or too late, distortions occur. Even supposedly clean records are covered with dust, partly visible, partly invisible in the groove. It contains particles of silicates, polymers and organic matter. These stick to the needle due to the high temperature during the scanning process. How quickly this happens is in Fig. 1. Already after playing a record side, almost nothing is recognizable from the needle in front of dirt. Figure. 2 shows the needle after cleaning with a normal, dry needle brush. Fibers are removed, but the encrustation remains. Only an aggressive liquid cleaner provides a reasonably cleaned surface of the diamond, see fig. 3. However, since these cleaners can attack not only the glue of the diamond, but also, above all, the sensitive rubber parts of the suspension of the needle carrier, caution should be exercised here. Figure. 4 shows the needle after applying the Flux-Sonic. Without attacking parts of the pickup, the result is excellent. The needle shines in a new splendour. (Fig. 1-4 )

The technology
The principle of action is similar to that of an ultrasonic cleaner from dental technology or an ultrasonic bath for spectacle lenses. A strong high-frequency vibration ensures a cleaning of the surfaces. Some substances, such as aluminium, are damaged by ultrasound treatment. Even if the diamond were perfectly cleaned, the glue nubs and the suspension of the needle carrier would be damaged, as would the use of aggressive liquid cleaners.
The FLUX-Sonic vibration cleaner, on the other hand, operates at a low frequency. The circuit and mechanics are designed to have a three-dimensional vibration on the needle, ensuring that any dirt particles are removed. The frequency is precisely tuned in such a way that damage to the adhesive or suspension is excluded – but the cleaning result is maximum. The deflections are far from the values of the actual sampling. The movement of the needle thus corresponds only to a fraction of the load of the play-off process.
A liquid is required to transfer the vibration from the device to the needle. This has an additional, gentle cleaning effect and is produced on an isopropanol basis. After application, it evaporates without residue. Flux fluid is applied on a specially designed pad made of the finest PE fibers. Already these fibers produce a capillary effect, which is very similar to the effect of a liquid, due to their number and the resulting density. In combination with FLUX-Fluid, the result is a perfect combination that transmits the vibration and absorbs the dirt at the same time. The application is recommended before each play.

The result
The cleaning process takes only 15 seconds, then the optimum is already reached. The scanning capability of the pickup system is improved. Less abrasion also increases the lifespan of the needle. Scanning noise is significantly minimized. Soundfully, the difference is outstanding. Both distortions and annoying side noises have largely disappeared. Playback has become much more dynamic and enjoyable. Unpleasant tips are no longer present and even the largest controls are rendered without distortion. The frequency range seems to be extended, especially in the bass and altitude range. As well as cleaning the needle, the cleaning of the record is of course also very important. Make sure that records are as clean as possible. A Flux-Hifi device is already in development.

The FLUX-Turbo is a unique, completely newly developed device to quickly and easily free the record from dust and dirt. The Vinyl Turbo combines a carbon brush with an integrated, extremely powerful suction system.

After more than a year of development, we at Flux HiFi are now presented with the FLUX-Turbo. A plate brush with integrated suction. Sounds simple, but it isn’t.

The enemy of record reproduction is dust. This consists of many components. Silicates, polymers, organic substances, everything is contained. With a plate washing machine that works with a fluid, I get most of it cleaned, even release agent residues are removed. But what then? As soon as the valuable disc is put on, the dust falls on the record like snow. This creates some problems. Particles and hair settle on the needle, making scanning virtually impossible. For this purpose, the dust particles on the plate constantly cause enormous crackling noises, which lead to considerable distortions.

With a commercially available plate brush, the dust is collected, but with the exception of a few coarse particles that the brush absorbs, it is rather pressed into the groove floor and distributed, the Flux Turbo quickly provides a remedy. The suction force is so strong that almost all particles are sucked in, already in 1-2 revolutions.

The interior of the turbo is very complex. In order to achieve a well-usable suction force in this small, lightweight housing, each item had to be specially developed. From the fan wheel geometry to the shape of the suction channel, it has been optimized where it went. At the slightly inclined suction channel end you can easily see the integrated guidelines, which ensure that the whole surface is evenly extracted. An elaborate filter construction, the cartridge of which can be easily replaced, absorbs the dirt. The capacity ranges far beyond 100 applications, as well as the durability of the batteries.

Everything was thought of here. Even the velvet skids, which ensure that the surface of the record is not damaged, are easy to replace.

The brush insert made of real carbon fibers is additionally grounded, so that the sound patter is removed from the static charge, which attracts even more dust. The large contact strip under the switch is responsible for this. This is electrically connected to the conductive brush fibers.

The effect on playback is surprisingly strong. The sound seems liberated. Even complex music with strong controls is played back much less distortionally. Scanning noises, previously characteristic of analogue playback, are reduced by up to 50 by the suction before hearing. This is not about achieving clinically pure reproduction, but to get everything that is contained on the record out optimally. And that’s a lot. More than one dared to hope !

Simplicity is crucial when using the Flux Turbo. Quickly sucked over the plate and the pleasure can start. Hearing better records than ever before !

The FLUX-Hifi Vinyl-Turbo is a unique, completely newly developed device to quickly and easily free the record from dust and dirt. The Vinyl Turbo combines a carbon brush with an integrated, extremely powerful suction system.
For this purpose, a special cyclone with replaceable filter was developed, which makes it possible to realize a strong suction performance despite the small housing size (dimension 125 x 122 x 64mm).
Surface dust, as well as the dirt that sits deep in the groove, is extracted without residue within a few revolutions.

Only when the LP is free of dust can the pickup system scan the record without interference and distortion.

With the Turbo, a new era in record maintenance has begun.
