Quick Answer
The StudioLive 16/32SC cover is a custom-fit nylon dust cover that keeps your StudioLive Series III mixer clean and protected when not in use or during transport.
Why a custom-fit cover matters
A generic cover might not hug the contours of your mixer, leaving gaps where dust and spills can sneak in. The StudioLive 16/32SC cover is tailored to fit the StudioLive SE 16, StudioLive 16, and StudioLive 32SC, so it provides a snug, protective layer.
This cover is made from durable nylon, which resists tears and repels light moisture. It's a simple, affordable way to extend the life of your investment, especially if you gig frequently or store your gear in a shared space.
Trade-offs to consider
While the cover offers excellent protection against dust and minor spills, it is not a padded flight case. If you're throwing your mixer into a van without other padding, you'll need additional shock protection.
Also, the cover is designed for the 16/32SC models, not the larger StudioLive 24 or 32 series. Double-check your model number before ordering to ensure a proper fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Which mixers does the StudioLive 16/32SC cover fit?
- It fits the StudioLive Series III models: SE 16, 16, and 32SC. Always verify your exact model number before purchasing. Measure your mixer's width and depth to confirm compatibility.
- How do I put the cover on?
- Place the cover over the top of the mixer, ensuring the sides align with the chassis. The nylon material stretches slightly for a snug fit. Check that all knobs and faders are covered completely.
- How do I clean the cover?
- Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and air dry. Avoid machine washing to prevent damage. Let it dry completely before storing to prevent mildew.
- Can I use the cover while the mixer is powered on?
- No, the cover is for protection when the mixer is off and not in use. Using it while powered on could trap heat and cause overheating. Always power off and unplug before covering.
- Is the cover suitable for outdoor gigs?
- It provides basic protection against dust and light splashes, but it is not waterproof. For outdoor use, keep the mixer under a canopy or additional weather protection. Consider a waterproof cover for outdoor events.
