Regular Cleaning
If you own an AV control system, you need to make arrangements to clean them regularly. The buildup of dust and dirt can cause a myriad of problems for your equipment.

Use a microfiber cloth to wipe the external surfaces and remove dirt.

Did you know that an excellent way to reduce overheating in a confined space is to design the room such that there is room for ventilation and free space around all your equipment?
