I recently gigged with my qc at an open air. It was quite dry the days before. Afrer the show, my whole gesr was covered in dust and dirt. Now i am concerned about getting too much dirt inside the qc through the venting slots.
Any ideas how to protect it without blocking the airstream? Or am i just freaking out about nothing?
As long as it’s dust it should be harmless for the electronics, I guess. If you ever opened a PC after some years of use there’s a lot of dust inside and it works perfectly fine. More often than not electronics are not wather-sealed, even in outdoor-used devices. I would just take a vacuum cleaner with a brush nozzle and vacuum the outside of the unit after outdoor use in dusty environments.
It would be interesting to know if NeuralDSP did any endurance tests with their rotary encoder foot switches in particularily dusty conditions.
this - there are no moving parts or fans, and therefore nothing for the dust to really DO short of some weird scenario or an absurd amount blocking heat transfer.
