Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Rane Seventy-Two MKII, follow these maintenance guidelines:

Cleaning: Regularly wipe the mixer's surface with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong chemicals, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
Dust Protection: When not in use, cover the mixer with a dust cover to prevent dust and debris from accumulating in faders, knobs, and ports.
Fader Care: While MAG FOUR faders are designed for durability, excessive force or liquid spills can cause damage. Keep liquids away from the mixer. If faders feel stiff or unresponsive, consult a qualified service technician. Do not attempt to lubricate faders with unauthorized substances.
Storage: Store the mixer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
