NanoBass Reference Manual
_ Do NOT run audio cables near other sources of obvious electromagnetic
interference such as monitors, computers, and power transformers (including
the wall-wart end of the NanoBass’s own AC adapter).
_ Do NOT run audio cables where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
Falling and hurting yourself is an obvious danger, of course. Less obvious is
the invisible damage done to the cable itself. Every time you step on a cable
you compress the insulation between center conductor and the shield,
degrading performance and reducing the cable’s reliability. You may not
notice a problem right away, but eventually you will.
_ Do NOT twist the cable if you can possibly avoid it, or force it to make sharp
right angle turns. Doing these things will damage the insides of the cable
even faster than stepping on them.
_ NEVER unplug a cable by pulling on the cable itself. This puts a dangerous
strain on the soldered connections between the cable and the plug, and can
easily make a cable go bad (or at least intermittent) on you. The proper way
to take a plug out of a jack is the same way you put it in — with a firm grasp
on the body of the plug itself.
_ ALWAYS keep your plugs and jacks clean and unoxidized. Occasional use
of solvent cleaners like Tweek and Cramolin, which are available at any
electronics shop, can greatly improve the electrical contact between your
connectors.
