{"product_id":"clearaudiomikrofasermatrixsonic","title":"Clearaudio Microfibre Cover Set for Double Matrix Sonic","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Clearaudio microfibre cover set is the replacement wear part for the Double Matrix Professional Sonic record cleaning machine: six self-adhesive microfibre strips for scratch-free suction on both sides of your records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant up front: this set belongs to the \u003cstrong\u003eDouble Matrix Professional Sonic\u003c\/strong\u003e, the machine that treats both record sides at once. The single-sided Smart Matrix Silent is a different machine and needs its own set — mixing them up isn't worth the trouble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy fresh covers?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the Double Matrix cleans both sides simultaneously, it has double the contact area — and so double the wear. Only fresh strips seal the vacuum properly on both suction arms and draw fluid, along with dirt, completely out of the groove. At the same time, the soft microfibre protects both the top and bottom surfaces from fine contact scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix precisely cut strips — four wide and two narrow — with a self-adhesive, chemical-resistant backing. This gives both suction arms a complete fresh cover, with no cutting and no improvising. Especially with heavy 180-gram pressings under higher contact pressure, you'll notice the difference between fresh and \"it'll do\" the fastest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this set for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor every owner of a Clearaudio Double Matrix Professional Sonic. To be blunt: it's a wear part, not an upgrade — wait until the fibres are flattened, and you lose suction performance and end up spreading old dirt onto freshly washed records. And once more, clearly: this set doesn't fit the single-sided Smart Matrix Silent, which needs its own set with two strips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe part that decides whether your cleaning machine still does what you bought it for. A spare set next to the machine saves you from wondering whether today's result is really as good as it should be. We'll tell you which set belongs to your model at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil in under a minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-density microfibre (synthetic velvet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking:\u003c\/strong\u003e self-adhesive, chemical-resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 replacement strips (4× wide, 2× narrow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e two-sided suction, both suction arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e exclusively Clearaudio Double Matrix Professional Sonic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot compatible with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smart Matrix Silent (single-sided suction, its own set with 2 strips)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplacement interval:\u003c\/strong\u003e roughly every 100–150 washes, depending on soiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich machine is this set for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the Clearaudio Double Matrix Professional Sonic, the machine with two-sided suction and two suction arms. That's why the set contains six strips, four wide and two narrow. The single-sided Smart Matrix Silent is a different machine and needs its own set with two strips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I need to replace the covers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoughly every 100 to 150 two-sided washes — sooner if you clean a lot of dusty records, since particles work their way into the fibres. If the strips feel hard or the vacuum no longer seals cleanly, the swap is due regardless of the count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I replace the strips?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeel off the old covers slowly, dissolve any adhesive residue with a little cleaning alcohol, wipe the suction tubes dry and grease-free, then stick on the new strips and press firmly. Make sure to place the wide and narrow strips in the correct positions — they aren't interchangeable at will.\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 part for both Matrix models and tell you which set belongs to your machine, and when the swap is due.
