How do I keep my dedicated room & gear cleaner?


I HAVE A DEDICATED LISTENING ROOM WITH MBL 101E MK2 RADIALSTRAHLERS, B.A.T. VK600SE MONOBLOCKS, B.A.T. VK51SE PREAMP, LINN SONDEK LP12 T.T., AND A MAGNUM DYNALAB MD102 FM TUNER. I LIVE OUT IN THE COUNTRY WHERE THERE IS LOTS OF AGRICULTURE, AND IT'S DUSTY ALL THE TIME. WHILE I ENJOY OPENING UP WINDOWS AND SCREEN DOORS WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICE TO LET IN FRESH AIR, MY GEAR GETS REALLY DUSTY-FAST. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO COVER EVERYTHING UP ALL THE TIME AS I LEAVE MY SYSTEM ON FOR LONG HOURS, BOTH DAY AND NIGHT.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ABOUT USING SOME AIR FILTRATION STUFF? DOES TOO MUCH DUST BUILD-UP CAUSE ANY LONG TERM PROBLEMS WITH AUDIO GEAR AND/OR SPEAKERS?

Is your room some what sealed so the room can be made slightly positive? Not counting of curse when you open the door to enter. If this can be done, you can add a separate small inline blower to the A/C supply duct that can be switch on and off with a differential pressure switch. This would keep your audio room at a higher pressure than the rest of your house. The air would also be filtered air from your a/c system. This would minimize the dust from entering the room in the first place. This is one of the ways they control the air quality in clean rooms along with very expensive 4” prefilters and 12” 95% HEPA final filters. You can also purchase a make up air unit for the room with all the fixings to control all issues with the room as they do with clean rooms.
