the filter except for changing batteries.

SPEAKER AND FIXTURE MAINTENANCE

Once you have calibrated the MLD you do not need any further calibrations if you have

set your speakers and fixtures in stable, fixed positions. However, if you are operating

the MLD in a setting with movable trusses or where people might touch the speakers

and fixtures, it is recommended to recalibrate your system from time to time. Even a

slight shift in position might deteriorate the followspot precision.
