• The "Safe Zone" Rule: Strictly enforce that no food or open drinks are allowed near the console, desks, or equipment racks. All refreshments must remain on a designated back table or break area.
• Microphone Hygiene: Wipe down mic grilles and pop filters with specialized, electronics-safe antibacterial wipes (like Gobos or isopropyl alcohol wipes) after every voice session.
• Coil and Store: Wrap all cables using the over-under method and return them to their designated hooks or bins. Never leave cables tangled on the floor where they can accumulate dirt or get crushed.
• Wipe Down High-Touch Surfaces: Sanitize headphones, mouse/keyboard setups, audio interfaces, and console armrests at the conclusion of every session.
• Trash Out: Empty all trash and recycling bins daily, especially if any food wrappers or discarded items are present, to prevent odors in enclosed rooms.
