Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Aokeo AK-58 microphone boom arm stand, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the arm and clamp regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the finish.
• Joints: Periodically check the tightness of all adjustment knobs and screws. If you notice any looseness, gently tighten them to maintain stability. Do not overtighten.
• Cable Management: Ensure cables are properly routed through the designated channels and secured with the hook and loop strips or detachable catches. This prevents strain on the cables and keeps your workspace organized.
• Load Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 2KG (4.4 lbs) to prevent damage to the arm and ensure stability.
