10 Tips for Maintaining DJ Equipment
DJ Equipment is expensive. Turntables, mixers and other DJ Equipment is made up of a lot of mechanical parts, computer chips, circuitry and motors that are definitely vulnerable to wear and tear. Take a few preventive measures to make sure your DJ equipment keeps working for the long run.
1. Maintain Your Wires
The wires are the veins of the DJ equipment. If you have frayed and damaged cords, it doesn’t matter how powerful your mixer is, what kind of speakers you have, or how great your records or CDs sound. All your listeners will here is the annoying buzz of a bad connection or the blast of static when a cord shorts out. Keep wires rolled neatly but not too tightly. There should be some slack in the cord at all times. A cord should never be supporting the weight of a device.
2. Carrying Cases
After purchasing an expensive set of DJ Equipment, it may be hard to justify spending any more money on expensive carrying cases. But if you take your DJ equipment on the road, it is only a matter of time before it bounces around in the back of a vehicle, takes a dive off a table, or even worse. Having hard shell carrying cases is definitely worth the investment. They also protect your equipment from moisture, extreme temperatures and dust while travelling.
3. Cleaning Slipmats
Your turntables have to move smoothly. If dust and dirt begins to collect on the slipmats, it can even damage your records. Use a vacuum cleaner with the brush attachment to get dust off the slipmat. You can also use a cloth with water and alcohol to remove dust. Be sure to let the slipmat dry before using it again.
4. Cleaning the Needle
Cleaning the needle and cartridge is a delicate process. Use a small brush to dust away dirt and grime from the needle. This dry cleaning method should be done monthly. Use a non abrasive clothe with half water and half isopropyl alcohol to clean the needle more thoroughly.
5. Cleaning Turntables and CD Decks
Whether you use CDs or Records, you need to keep your turntables clean. Again, the alcohol and water with a cloth that does not leave any residue is the best way to keep your decks clean.
6. Post-Gig Cleaning
Residue from smoke machines, cigarette smoke and other airborne contaminants can settle on your equipment during a gig. Give everything a quick wiping after a gig before these residues have time to settle in and harden on your devices.
7. Cleaning the Cross Fader
The cross fader and it’s slot are a natural collector of dust. Most cross faders can easily be taken apart by removing a few screws. Clean the crevices inside the cross fader with a can of compressed air. This will blow out dust and debris without getting any liquid on the sensitive electronic innards.
8. Cleaning Records
Cleaning records is very important to maintain their quality. Make sure you have sleeves for all your vinyl. Numerous record cleaning kits are available, but you can also use a light mixture of water and dish soap to remove stubborn gunk.
9. Looking after CDs
CDs are more durable than records, but they can still scratch and be affected by moisture. It is worth purchasing a good CD case both for organization and protection of your music. Your DJ equipment isn’t worth must without some good tracks coming through it.
10. Road Hardening
If you are a serious DJ and take your DJ equipment on the road constantly, you may benefit from getting your equipment road hardened. This involves removing any computer chip components from their socks and directly soldering them onto the circuit boards. This means they are less likely to come loose in transit and can survive more impact than normal DJ equipment.
You’ve spent a lot on your <a target=”_new” href=”http://www.djdeals.co.uk/”>DJ Equipment</a>, but wear and tear can destroy your equipment if you don’t maintain it. Find out how to look after your <a target=”_new” href=”http://www.djdeals.co.uk/”>DJ equipment</a> successfully with these simple tips!
