Key Features

1. Ion Generation Technology
   • The ASB-2 uses patented ion generation technology to neutralize static charges on the surface of your media and equipment. By releasing negative ions, it effectively eliminates static electricity, preventing dust from clinging to surfaces and reducing the potential for noise and distortion during playback.
2. Ultra-Fine Carbon Fiber Bristles
   • The brush features ultra-fine carbon fiber bristles that are both soft and durable. These bristles gently remove dust and debris without scratching or damaging delicate surfaces, making it suitable for vinyl records, optical discs, and even turntable cartridges.
3. Versatile Application
   • This electrostatic brush is designed to work on a variety of surfaces, including vinyl records, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, camera lenses, computer screens, and other sensitive electronic components. It’s a versatile tool for maintaining your entire audio-video setup.
4. Ergonomic Design
   • The ASB-2 Ion Brush has a sleek, lightweight design that makes it comfortable and easy to use. Its ergonomic handle ensures a secure grip, allowing precise and controlled cleaning of your media and equipment.

Benefits

• Enhanced Playback Quality: By removing dust and static, the ASB-2 ensures clearer sound and picture quality. For vinyl records, it reduces pops and crackles, while for optical discs, it minimizes read errors and skips.
• Prolonged Media Life: Regular cleaning with the ASB-2 helps protect your media and equipment from dust-related wear and tear, extending their lifespan and maintaining optimal performance.
• Improved Signal Accuracy: The brush’s anti-static properties help prevent static build-up, ensuring that your audio and video signals remain clean and accurate.

Ideal for Audiophiles and Collectors

The Furutech ASB-2 Ion Electrostatic Brush is perfect for:

• Audiophiles: Ensures that vinyl records and CDs remain free of dust and static, delivering the purest sound quality.
• Collectors: Helps maintain the condition and value of your media collection by providing gentle yet effective cleaning.
• Photographers and Electronic Enthusiasts: Ideal for cleaning camera lenses, screens, and other delicate components prone to static and dust.

How to Use

1. Activate the Ion Generation: Simply hold the ASB-2 brush over the surface you wish to clean. The ion generator will activate automatically, emitting negative ions to neutralize static charges.
2. Brush the Surface: Gently brush the surface using light, even strokes. For vinyl records, always brush in the direction of the grooves to avoid damage.
3. Repeat as Necessary: For heavily soiled surfaces, repeat the process until all dust and static are removed.

High Performance Antistatic Brush with built-in Ionizer.

FEATURES
A revolutionary static eliminating brush with a built-in ionizer for audio and video applications.
The ASB-2 ion is a revolutionary static eliminating brush incorporating the world’s only core-and-sheath composite conductive acrylic fiber “COREBRID TMB” developed by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation.
The ASB-2 ion deals a double blow to static with its dual static removal process: first, through corona discharge and second, a flow of static eliminating ions, allowing you to enjoy improved sound and image reproduction from your disc media (LPs, CDs, and Blu-ray discs). This revolutionary product solves in a simple brush and a pull of the lever the problem of electrostatic noise deteriorating sound and image quality.
Features:
Incredibly compact in size for an ion generator (Battery-free design: no power source required) the ASB-2 ion generates its own voltage with a piezoelectric element, eliminating static potential difference with a flow of positive and negative ions from a single lever operation.
Most antistatic brushes remove static electricity through corona discharge. However, brushing disc media to remove dust can often generate new floating static fields. The ASB-2 ion solves this problem with a final static eliminating punch – a built-in ionizer emitting a flow positive and negative ion, eliminating any static generated while brushing your disc media. The ASB-2’s built-in ionizer sends a flow of positive ions from the top of the brush handle when the lever is pressed and negative ions when the lever is released. The ASB-2 ion requires no batteries and can be used over and over again.
Optimized brush design for analog records:
Core-bridged TMB is an extremely thin short fiber with an outer diameter of only about 30μm. The bristles are thinner and more delicate than hair with a 50% mix of natural wool used to give the bristles more body. The bristles of the ASB-2 ion have been designed to penetrate deep into the grooves of analog records to remove hard-to-get-to dust.
Safe for use on sensitive equipment and componentry:
The highly electrical resistant surface of the fiber (core-and-sheath composite conductive acrylic fiber) reduces the risk of short-circuit when used on sensitive electronic components.
