{"product_id":"clearaudiomikrofasermatrixsilent","title":"Clearaudio Microfibre Cover Set for Smart Matrix Silent","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Clearaudio microfibre cover set is the replacement wear part for the suction arm of the Smart Matrix Silent record cleaning machine: two self-adhesive microfibre strips for scratch-free, tight-sealing suction on your records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant up front: this set belongs exclusively to the \u003cstrong\u003eSmart Matrix Silent\u003c\/strong\u003e, the single-sided machine. The two-sided Double Matrix Professional Sonic needs a different set — the two are different machines, and the strips are not interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy fresh covers?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strips are the only connection between the hard suction arm and the vinyl. Only a fresh strip seals the suction slot properly and draws the fluid, along with the loosened dirt, completely out of the groove. At the same time, the soft microfibre forms the protective layer that prevents fine contact scratches. Once the fibres are flattened, suction turns into an expensive way of just pushing dirt around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo precisely cut strips with a self-adhesive, moisture-resistant backing — exactly what the Smart Matrix Silent's suction arm needs, with no cutting or improvising required. The swap takes a few minutes and is the cheapest upgrade your cleaning machine will ever get.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this set for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor every owner of a Clearaudio Smart Matrix Silent. To be blunt: this is a wear part, not a sound upgrade — anyone expecting a new treble sparkle from it will be disappointed. But if the fibres feel hard or flattened, the swap is overdue. And once more: not for the Double Matrix Professional Sonic, which needs its own set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn unspectacular part that determines the cleaning quality of the whole machine. Anyone who takes their collection seriously keeps a spare set next to the machine.

That's why the set contains two strips. The two-sided Double Matrix Professional Sonic is a different machine and needs its own set with six strips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I need to replace the covers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a rule of thumb, every 50 to 100 cleaned records — sooner if you're cleaning a lot of heavily soiled flea-market finds. At the latest when the fibres feel hard or the vacuum no longer seals cleanly, it's time to change them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I fit the new strips?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeel off the old strips, remove any adhesive residue completely with a little cleaning alcohol, let the suction arm dry, stick on the new strips and press firmly. If the surface is genuinely clean and free of grease, they'll hold reliably — otherwise they'll come loose mid-wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Clearaudio microfibre cover set from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we stock the wear parts for both Matrix models and know from experience when a swap is worthwhile — and which set belongs to your machine.
