LECTRICare® Professional Electronic Contact Cleaner and Lube offers more protection and flexibility than simple contact cleaners.

A New Model for Electronic Music Gear Care

To deliver a dynamic, moving performance, modern musicians count on a host of electronic equipment; effects units, amplifiers, speakers, mixing consoles, etc. But with electronics potential power comes a lot of potential problems. Most of us have had the misfortune of either playing or attending a concert marred by technical difficulties.

To help prevent drop-outs, distortion, power loss, and other glitches, LECTRICare® Music Electronics is a conditioning and lubricant formula that helps ensure that your backline gear is running at 100%. LECTRICare electronic contact cleaner removes the embedded dust and grime that can lead to malfunctions, and maximizes the electronic contact and conduction crucial to your gear.

LECTRICare does not introduce current noise or distortion into the signal path. Unlike other electronic contact cleaners, it has the ability to “fill-in” surface irregularities on contact surfaces promoting maximum contact area . It is also hydrophobic, self-leveling, and very stable and will not migrate under high loads.

The SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) images of a potentiometer show a wiper before-and-after application of LECTRICare®. The images clearly reveal the significant ability of LECTRICare® to lift away contact inhibiting grim and corrosion for improved surface to surface connectivity.

Potentiometers consist of a resistive element, a sliding contact (wiper) that moves along the element, making good electrical contact with one part of it, electrical terminals at each end of the element, a mechanism that moves the wiper from one end to the other, and a housing containing the element and wiper.

The author/publisher of these instructions and Sound Synergies will accept no responsibility for any injuries or damage suffered by anyone as a result of carelessness or misinterpretation of the instructions/information contained in our videos and website content. Proper electrical safety procedures must always be practiced when working around high voltage tube amplifiers or other electrical power sources. If you are not completely familiar with these safety practices, do not attempt any work on your amp or other electrical equipment before becoming completely familiar with proper safety procedures. Please consult with a professional repair technician if you are uncertain about any aspect of electrical equipment repair.

Instrument Amplifiers

BE SURE THAT THE AMP IS UNPLUGGED AND THE FILTER CAPS HAVE BEEN PROPERLY DISCHARGED!!! Tube amplifiers contain high voltage that can kill you, even if the amp has been off and unplugged for days!!! Safe discharge can usually be accomplished by turning the amp off, unplugging it, and flipping the standby switch to the “play” mode. If your amp has no standby switch, just unplug it and leave it “on” for several minutes. After a few minutes, your amp should be safe to work on. To insure safety, double check by reading the voltage on pin#1 of any preamp tube and pin#3 of any power tube. There should be 3 volts or less.
