Using this Softube Console 1 system is straightforward. First, you'll need to get your own power supply as it's not included in the bundle. Connect the Console 1 and Console 1 Fader as per the normal audio equipment connection process. Since the wooden stand has damage on the right - front side, be careful when placing the system on it to avoid further damage. For maintenance, keep the Console 1 and Fader in a dry and dust - free environment. Wipe them gently with a soft cloth regularly to keep them clean. Also, store the system properly when not in use to ensure its longevity.
