Care and Maintenance of your ACS In-Ear Monitors
It is important to read these notes to ensure longevity
of your custom monitors. Cleaning them regularly and
paying close attention to their maintenance is vital
to ensure their continued performance. We offer full
cleaning and reconditioning services for your monitors
so please don’t hesitate to call if your monitors need
attention.
NEVER remove your monitors by pulling on the cable.
Cleaning and Storage
Use a moist cloth or sterile wipe to clean the silicone moulds and cables. Always
hold your cables by the plug, rather than the earpiece, to clean. DO NOT
immerse any part of the monitors in any liquid. If they get wet, place them in
a warm, dry atmosphere and use dehumidifier (silicate crystals) to
remove any moisture. Be careful not to tangle the cables and always
store your monitors in the case provided when not in use.
Visually inspect the sound ports on each earpiece to check
that no wax, skin debris or dirt has penetrated the
tubes. Use the wire loop pick provided to
carefully remove any matter.
NOTE : The most common cause of failure
is due to ingression of ear wax into the
sound tubes. This is easily prevented by
regular checks and cleaning.
Cable Types / Cable Management
ACS Monitors are fitted with different cable options. The
cable can exit over the top of the ear and round
the back of the head (fig 5), or from the lower
part of the ear like the cables fitted to most
conventional types of headphones and
earphones(fig 6). If your cables exit at the top
of the ear, the cable can be secured at the
back of the head by moving the slider fitted to
the cable in an upward direction (fig 7).
Fitting
Your monitors are handed, the right earpiece being identified with a red detail and
the left earpiece with a blue detail. From a comfort and acoustic perspective, it is
important that they are fitted correctly to provide a good seal of the ear.
Begin by placing the tip of the monitor into
your ear canals whilst at the same time making
sure that the top part of the mould is located
under the flap at the top of the ear (fig 2). It is
sometimes easier to use both hands when fitting
the earpieces (fig 3).
Gently press the mould until it feels located and
secure (fig 4). Use the comfort cream to help the
fitting initially. Spread a small amount around the
ear canal tip, being careful to avoid the sound
tubes.
