CES 2016

Audio Desk Systeme and its USA agent Ultra Systems, Inc. announced at CES 2016 the Vinyl Cleaner PRO, the next generation, upgraded edition of its ultrasonic LP cleaning machine, reviewed here.

The new machine incorporates five years of evolutionary enhancements as well as key upgrades to internal component parts that the company says offers an improved feature set and better performance and reliability.

The result is improved, quieter drying ability using a new premium motor, an upgraded pump with ceramic bearings and a better control system that includes a dry-only option.

While the cost to build is 20% greater because of the many improvements, which results in a 20% price hike in Europe, the price in America has actually been reduced because of the increased strength of the U.S. dollar.

Custom finishes will also be available in combinations of white, black and red in addition to the standard gray finish, though the custom finishes will cost more ($800) and require a lead time of up to six weeks. Ultra Systems also announced it would now be responsible for Canadian distribution.
