SWEEP IT S2

Magnetically stabilized record broom

Sweep it S2

Record brooms have been around
since the early 1970s. Some of
them do a good job, some rather
not. In many cases the brush rushes
towards the middle of the platter,
running out of sync with the tone­arm. This phenomenon is known
as skating. Recent developments
aim to tackle this problem. Here the

highly ecient neodymium magnet

comes into play. These magnets
are used to stabilize the record
broom of the Sweep it S2. Sweep
it S2 is constructed in collabora­tion with Klaus Mick and uses his
patented technology to stabilize the
record broom. Extensive theoretical
and empirical research has been
put into the development of this
product.

Maintenance

Prior to shipment, the natural brist­les are carefully cleaned with sol­vents in order to remove any remai­ning fat and dirt of the brush head.
The brush head can be cleaned with
a dry cloth. If the record broom has
been used over a longer period, clea­ning with a dry cloth may not be suf-

cient. It is recommended to clean

the brush head with warm water
and a sparse splash of shampoo
then. Let the record broom air-dry
after washing.

Setup

Sweep it S2 is height adjustable within a range of about 1cm. The position
can be locked with the set screw on the base. With this mechanism, it is
possible to adjust the height of the arm of the record broom in order to align
it horizontally with the platter. A correct horizontal alignment ensures the
correct tracking force of about 6g.

Positioning Sweep it S2

The record broom can be placed in one of two left hand side corners of the turntable. The placement is depending on the type and shape of your turntable.
At the optimal position the brush should align with the spindle (i.e. the center of the platter). Deviations (relative to the spindle) between 1,5 to 2 cm are well

compensated by design of the Sweep it S2. Higher deviations can cause more drastic skating eects.

Type 1

Motor under platter

If there is enough space, the upper left corner is an ideal place for
the record broom.

Type 2

Outside motor with speed switch button

If motor and speed button are in the left corners, the record broom
can be placed immediately to the right of the speed button.

Type 3

Outside motor with or without speed switch

button

On some turntables the speed button is small enough for the record
broom to be placed directly on top of it.
