Dust Covers?


Recommended Posts

Now I've had it!

 

Perhaps any one of you clever guys/girls know of any 3rd-party dust-cover manufacturer?

 

For the Nth time I have purchased a delicate & expensive piece of equipment. Not even a simple dustcover was included in the package and it is not available as an accessory.

 

I find this VERY annoying, especially when doing on-location-recordings.

 

Come to think of it, I also need a bunch of dust-covers for guitar-amps & keyboards etc.

 

 

Best regards,

Mats

Home Depot or your favorite local hardware store.

 

The Paint Department

 

Plastic drop cloths in various thicknesses and very cheap.

 

Use them to cover piles of equipment or cut 'em up to size. When they rip, get more.

I go to Wal-Mart and get a roll of "Manco- Crystal Clear Sheeting" 4 mils thick.

It is usually near the hardware. This is the best time of the year to get it, because people use it for their windows to keep out the drafts.

 

Just get some of that stuff and a roll of clear box tape.

Measure the equipment and cut the stuff using the clear box tape to join the seams.

Think about how a box looks when you open it up and spread it out flat and you'll get the idea.

I've made a whole mess of these covers and not only do they work great, they stand up to a lot of use and abuse (the 4 mils can take it).

Our firm does a lot of outdoor community PA events. Unfortnately, rain and snow are a part of our performance life.

 

I always carry a box of black plastic thirty gallon trash bags, to waterproof our gear while the weatherman wins. for speakers, they completely cover them, and, with gaffers tape, you can drape them over bigger mixing boards. One size fits all!

 

It's cheap, effective, easy to pack, and always available. Probably not quite the elegance you're seeking, but, it works very well!
