Ion Board Cover
« on: Jun 12, 2008, 01:07 pm »
My theatre has a new ION board, and we're looking to get a cover. Our local provider says they can get us a generic cover for $100, which is more than we're really looking to spend.

Any suggestions on substitutes for covers, or cheap ways to make our own?

Is this the ETC Ion?  Did you buy it new from the manufacturer?  If so I'd think they should send a cover with it.  If you bought it used ETC should still be able to provide a cover for it but they may charge you a fee.  Contact them and see what they say.

If you're looking to build your own it shouldn't be that difficult.  The main purpose of a cover is to keep dust, dirt, etc... away from the console.  There should be something suitable at a local fabrics store.  I'd stay away from any plastic material or anything that could conduct static electricity, don't want to fry any of the guts inside.  Hope this helps!

Yes it's new from ETC, no it didn't come with a cover, and the charge is $100.
