Over time the metal contacts of 1/4-inch plugs and jacks accumulate dirt, dust, moisture and oxidation. This buildup can cause signal loss, noise, and poor audio quality.
Regular cleaning of 1/4-inch male and female connections helps ensure optimal signal transfer and sound. The AMERICAN RECORDER 1/4-Inch Plug and Jack Cleaining Tool features a specially designed nylon brush and a cylinder pin pad sized for an exact fit and maximum surface contact with 1/4-inch connectors. A knurled aluminum handle provides a secure grip and precise control during cleaning.
The tool includes a tube of DeoxIT® D-Series contact treatment, which removes oxides and sulfides, restores contact integrity, and leaves a microscopic protective layer. Special additives improve conductivity and help keep oxides suspended and easy to remove with the cleaning tool.
