What do you think will happen to that expensive Buffet Crampon PA speaker if you do not take proper care of it? Continually fail and eventually become obsolete. These equipment do not come cheap. Therefore, you need to put some effort into maintaining them. Just like you wouldn’t want your precious Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro 250 Ohm breaking down, the same case applies to your PA system. Here are some tips that will help you in maintaining them so they can serve you longer.

1. Keep them in a dust-free environment – Dust greatly affects the performance of your speakers. It would help if you occasionally used a vacuum cleaner to clean the dust that accumulate inside it over time. You can use a blower as well. Compressed air is preferred in this case.

2. Clean regularly – Do not use liquid cleaners as they may damage the amplifiers.

3. Keep them away from magnets – Magnetic objects may damage the in-built electromagnet in your Electro voice ZLX 15.

4. Do not place them on metals – Avoid any metal surfaces that is conducive to magnetism. Plastic or wood is preferred in this case.

5. Always use anti-static floor mats – Static electricity can damage your PA system. If you walk across a carpet and touch your speaker, you will feel the shock. You can use an anti-static spray as well if you have to use the rug.

6. Keep away from direct sun rays – Heat can significantly damage your speakers; therefore, it would be best to avoid it as much as possible. If the speaker has a vent below it, ensure that it is always uncovered, especially when it is in use.

7. Proper plugging – It is essential to read through the plugging manual and understand it well before you do the wrong thing. Wrong wiring channels can cause the system to blow up. When you use your speaker with other equipment such as the Arturia MiniLab MKII, and you get the wiring wrong, you may not only damage your speaker but the other equipment as well.

8. Provide adequate ventilation – It is essential to cool your speakers, especially during a massive performance. You can keep fans nearby to accelerate the cooling.

In conclusion, a great tip is to engage the PA system Company on how best to go about the maintenance procedures.
