Monk-Audio

Keith Monks Audio Works is a pioneering British audio equipment manufacturer founded in the late 1960s by Keith Monks, who along with the BBC invented the world's first vinyl record-cleaning machine, revolutionizing vinyl preservation and restoration. Originally operating as a cottage industry from the Isle of Wight, England, Keith Monks hand-built precision-engineered record cleaning machines until his death in 2005, serving prestigious clients including the British Library, US Library of Congress, and Harrods London. In 2008, his son Jonathan Monks relaunched the company with a modern 2000-square-foot facility on the Isle of Wight and established Keith Monks America in New England, continuing the family legacy of creating the world's finest record cleaning machines. The company specializes in professional-grade vinyl record cleaning equipment including the flagship Prodigy Plus model, combining traditional British craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques to restore fidelity and clarity to precious vinyl collections. Operating since 1969 under the motto 'restoring and preserving your precious vinyl collection,' Keith Monks Audio Works remains the definitive authority in record cleaning technology, maintaining its position as the original and premier manufacturer of professional record restoration equipment worldwide.
