With an audio contact cleaner – or audio contact cleaner – you ensure that you clean and protect the connectors or other metal components of your audio cable, media player or other equipment. This ensures better contact between the connector and your device, which ensures better conduction. Taking care of your audiovisual components gives a better end result in the sound or image. All contact points retain their qualities and deterioration can be prevented in this way. You don't give oxidation or rust, caused by oxygen or moisture, a chance with an audio contact cleaner and you can enjoy your installation for longer.
An audio contact cleaner that does more than just clean
You also have contact cleaners that lubricate. And while you prefer to leave as little residue on your connectors as possible, sometimes it can be good to do a little more than just cleaning. The lubricating component in the cleaner then provides the necessary care to the components, such as your fader. You can use the lubricant - known as lubricant - on plastic and carbon parts or switches, so that you not only remove dust, but also remove grease or acids that have stuck to them during cleaning. You can get the cleaner and lubricant in one in a spray or small bottle with a pipette.
The best brand of contact cleaners
DeoxIT is the well-known brand for cleaners. You not only get normal contact cleaners from this brand, but also contact enhancers and shield protectors. The latter offers extra protection in extreme environments, where a lot of aggressive dirt (such as salt, moisture, acid or sulfur) is often present. RS Pro also has a contact cleaner. The great thing about this product is that it does not contain CFCs. So it is safe to use for the environment. Be careful, because almost all audio contact cleaners are highly flammable.
