dusting Trapeziums
04/19/19 at 18:48:25

What's the best way to keep the dust off the Traps? I have them at work and it's a little dusty. I keep a towel over them at night and leave the towel folded up on top of the speakers during the day. Should I use a paint brush like I do for my amps? Maybe compressed air that's not too strong? Also, I'm wondering if there's a good recommended polish for the speaker's wood veneer.

I've used compressed air at low pressure with good results for the heavy stuff....But for the drivers I clean mine up with a chip brush. You know the cheapest 1-1/2" to 2" brush they sell. Cut about half of it off (length of bristles) and go around the driver in a circular fashion.

Mine get so dusty, I have to do this about every week, and so far, no harm!

As far as polish, just use what you would use on your furniture. Just spray it on the cloth, rather than on the speaker. Works great!
