About the RD2 Disc Demagnetizer

The Furutech RD-2 Disc Demagnetizer is a specialized device that demagnetizes optical discs including CD, DVD, MD, SACD, and others, as well as audio/video cables and power cords. Magnetism in discs, caused by magnetic materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt in the label and reflective layers, can degrade signal quality and playback performance. The RD-2 uses a patented ring demagnetization process to completely remove this magnetism, restoring the original tone and image quality of the discs. It operates by first magnetizing the disc and then reversing polarity to demagnetize it, ensuring accurate data reading and improved sound and image fidelity. The device is suitable for all optical disc types and also helps maintain cables and connectors by preventing magnetic signal distortion. It has received patents in Japan, the U.S., and Taiwan and is recognized for enhancing playback quality by lowering distortion and noise while improving signal-to-noise ratio and read performance. The RD-2 was It is no longer manufactured but remains a valued accessory for audiophiles and collectors.
