Welcome to our Pro-Ject - VC 7” Record Cleaning Kit Review, where we explore how this precision-engineered add-on elevates the maintenance of your 7” singles. Tailored to seamlessly integrate with Pro-Ject’s VC-E vacuum cleaning system, this specialised kit brings the same audiophile-grade cleaning to 45rpm records that the standard clamp and vacuum arm provide for 12” LPs.
Unpacking the VC 7” Record Cleaning Kit
Pro-Ject has thoughtfully included a dedicated 7” record clamp and a vacuum arm extension that delivers full vacuum power on the smaller diameter. You’ll also find a 100ml bottle of Wash-It cleaning concentrate—formulated to tackle embedded grime, static charge and surface debris without harsh solvents.
Key Benefits for Audiophiles
-
Precision Vacuum Suction: The extended vacuum arm ensures uniform deep cleaning across the entire 7” surface, preventing partial vacuum drop that can leave residues.
-
Dedicated 7” Clamp: Custom-shaped to hold 45s perfectly flat—minimising wobble and ensuring optimum stylus contact when you next spin your records.
-
High-Performance Cleaning Concentrate: Pro-Ject’s Wash-It solution uses a gentle micro-emulsion to lift oils and particulates without leaving any film or altering vinyl characteristics.
-
Longevity & Preservation: By thoroughly removing airborne dust, mould spores and static, the kit helps prevent needle damage and extends the life of both stylus and record grooves.
