5. Техникалык тейлөө
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Soundcraft EFX12 mixer, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Тазалоо: Миксердин сыртын тазалоо үчүн жумшак, кургак чүпүрөктү колдонуңуз. Абразивдүү тазалоочу каражаттарды же эриткичтерди колдонбоңуз.
- Чаңдан коргоо: Чаңдын топтолушун алдын алуу үчүн, колдонулбай турган учурда миксерди жаап коюңуз, анткени ал фейдерлерге жана туткаларга таасирин тийгизиши мүмкүн.
- Вентиляция: Ашыкча ысып кетпеши үчүн миксердин айланасында жакшы желдетүүнү камсыз кылыңыз. Желдетүүчү тешиктерди жаппаңыз.
- Кабелдик башкаруу: Туташтыргычтарга күч келүүнүн жана кокустан ажыратылып калуунун алдын алуу үчүн кабелдерди тыкан жайгаштырыңыз.
- Сактагыч: Миксерди күн нурунан жана экстремалдык температурадан алыс салкын, кургак жерде сактаңыз.
