Source: kirmussaudio.com (verified 2026-08-12). Kirmuss Audio's own product page states the $1,490 US list/MAP price, a 6-liter tank, a patented record suspension system holding up to four records simultaneously ("two 33 1/3, one 45, and one 78"), 35 kHz primary ultrasonic frequency with 70 kHz passive resonance, 2-to-5-minute cycles (5-minute final cycle), ETL/CE safety approval, and post-clean drying via an included lint-free microfiber cloth rather than a built-in fan or vacuum. Kirmuss markets this as a groove-level restoration system rather than surface cleaning alone; motor wattage and a dB noise figure are not published, so both are null.
