Tropical Heat and Professional Broadcast Equipment
maintenance is certainly not unnecessary to keep your professional audio broadcast equipment in top condition, Therefore is is good to check the audio equipment and FM transmission system.
Has the FM audio processor been in a non-cooled room for years? Then a service might be in order. There may be a lot of dust in the audio device or fans may no longer be working properly. In both cases, the coming heat may cause a problem with your expensive broadcast equipment.
What can you do yourself?
Check your FM Broadcast and peripherals. Unscrew the device and check the ventilation holes of the device. Then use an air pressure device such as a compressor to make everything inside dust-free. There are also bottles of compressed air for sale at better electronics stores or online.
If you don’t have this at hand, use a vacuum cleaner, but do this carefully!
Also check the fans, because they must remove the warm air from the device. If the fans no longer work properly, they must be replaced.
Don’t forget the broadcast computers, these are guaranteed places that attract a lot of dust.
If there is already a defect in the device, it is good to ask for advice.
Is there no technical knowledge at your radio broadcaster?
And is it necessary to take a good look at your studio and FM transmitting equipment?
Please contact ProFM Broadcast. You can make an appointment to have us look at the FM transmitter or studio equipment on location. This often prevents worse damage to your valuable equipment.
We charge the usual hourly rate and call-out costs for this. You can also bring the device to us or send it to us.
If maintenance takes a little longer, it is sometimes possible to get a loaner device for this.
Give your audio and broadcast equipment the attention it deserves, it would be a shame if unnecessary damage were to occur!
