The DS Audio ION-001 neutralizes record static with four ionizers, silent fanless operation and low ozone output for vinyl and CDs. Read more.
The DS Audio ION-001 Vinyl Ionizer is a high-power static removal device designed for turntable users who want a cleaner, more controlled vinyl playback routine. Static electricity can build up on records through everyday friction, including stylus drag during playback and the movement of a record in and out of its sleeve. For music lovers, hi-fi enthusiasts and demanding listeners, the ION-001 offers a focused way to reduce surface charge on vinyl records while fitting naturally into a serious analogue listening setup.
The DS Audio ION-001 uses four ionizers in total, with two dedicated to positive ions and two to negative ions. By emitting both types of ions in a controlled way from its dual outlets, it helps neutralize static electricity on the record surface. Its fanless design allows silent operation, so it can remain in use while records are playing. A specialized power supply controller suppresses excess ozone generation, with ozone output specified at less than 0.01 ppm, helping to avoid unwanted oxidation. The unit operates on DC 12V with an AC 100V-240V power supply and can also remove charge from Compact Discs.
Installation is deliberately straightforward: the tower-shaped DS Audio ION-001 is placed next to the turntable, allowing records to be changed easily without complex mounting. Measuring 84 x 84 x 250 mm and weighing 950 g, it is compact enough for most listening furniture while remaining stable in daily use. The design suits turntables with an overall platter height up to 18 cm; taller models can be matched by using a suitable base or riser. Pair it with careful record handling, clean sleeves and a quality record brush for a more complete anti-static vinyl routine. Add the ION-001 to your system and refine the way you care for your records.
