KA-RC-1
The KA-RC-1 is a four-record-capacity ultrasonic vinyl restoration system that combines 35 kHz ultrasonic cavitation with a proprietary ionizing surfactant treatment, designed to strip mold-release compound and embedded contaminants from record grooves rather than just surface dirt ([The Absolute Sound](https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/kirmuss-audio-ka-rc-1-ultimate-ultrasonic-vinyl-restoration-system/), [Kirmuss Audio official site](https://kirmussaudio.com/ka-rc-1-ultrasonic-record-restoration-system/)). Records emerge from the multi-stage cycle process nearly dry, without requiring separate vacuum or air drying.
