CLEANING THE EQUIPMENTS FROM INSIDE
Just like all other electronic items, the audio equipments too require maintenance. To ensure that you are equipments are in a good working condition, they need to be cleaned from time to time. With regular use, dirt tends to collect in them and it may clutter up the interior parts and they may not be able to function well. Cleaning them up from outside will not improve their working, cleaning from inside will. It becomes necessary to clean up amplifiers and other equipments which have fans.
To start with the cleaning process, the first thing to make sure is that the appliance was unplugged 24 hours before you started the cleaning process. If the appliance is just plugged in and switched off, even then there is a potential risk of an electric shock due to the stored energy.
Make sure that you do not use metallic tools to inspect the wires. Instead, use ceramic coated tools. Always open up the equipment on a soft carpet and open up the nuts and bolts carefully. You can keep the screws and small nuts and bolts in a bowl in order to prevent them from being lost.
When you open up your appliance, use an air compressor but do not exert much pressure or else you can use electronics and contact cleaner as per the instructions given on the pack. Clean every part properly. If the equipment has a tube, remove it carefully and clean it with a mild cleansing solution. To prevent the contaminants to enter sensitive areas of the unit, you may cover them up with a simple masking tape.
The tube sockets, rear panels and connectors require thorough cleaning. Microphones, jacks and headphones too need to be cleaned even if they are not used much. They can be sprayed with disinfectant cleaners. It has to be made certain that no part is cleaned vigorously as it may lead to breakage or any other sort of damage of the part and may leave the unit dysfunctional.
Take up this task of cleaning your equipments only if you know how to. Playing with electronic items is dangerous and can be fatal. If you do not understand the working of the unit after you open it, do not experiment and leave it for the technician to handle.
Cleaning up the electronic units once in a year is adequate but for the people who live in more dusty areas need to clean up their appliances in shorter intervals.
By simply following the safety advices and a proper process, your equipments will continue to work smoothly. Whatever you do, always keep in mind that safety comes first.
