Union Audio Orbit.6 - Care of the Mixer

24
Important Notice regarding the VU Meters:
The needles in the meters are highly sensive to electrostac charges. This can cause the needle to
inially sck when rst powered on or lag behind the other meter. The stac charge will normally
dissipate aer a few seconds, but take extra care when polishing or cleaning the mixer, and be sure
to use a so coon or an-stac cloth with a specialist an-stac spray to avoid inducing a charge
on the meter. Take care when wiping the meter windows as they can be easily scratched.
Care of the Mixer
When ng the mixer into a 19” rack unit, always use protecve nylon washes under the securing screws to
avoid damaging the anodised aluminium faceplate, and do not overghten.
If liquid is accidentally spilt onto the mixer, turn o the power supply immediately, and if possible turn the unit
upside-down to minimise ingress. Clean o the spill with a damp cloth, and dry thoroughly before powering
back on. If aerwards the mixer fails to funcon properly or is excessively noisy, contact Union Audio technical
support, or an appointed service agent to have the unit inspected at the earliest opportunity.
When not in use, cover the mixer with a dedicated protecve screen or dust sheet, and avoid sing the unit
where it will be in direct sunlight for any length of me. Clean stains or spills with a so damp cloth and dry
carefully with a so coon cloth. Never use harsh abrasive or solvent based cleaning products.
Turn o the mixer when not in use to minimise power consumpon, and consider addional cooling (such as a
direcng a desktop fan at the mixer and power supply) when operang in high ambient temperatures.
Only ever store the unit in a dry environment as dampness and high humidity will shorten the life of the
potenometers and could promote internal corrosion.
