Why cover your gear

Dust is the slow enemy of music equipment. It settles in keybeds, fader slots and around pots, where it can cause noisy controls and sticky keys. Sunlight fades panels and screens, and a spilled drink on an uncovered mixer can end a session. A cover is a small cost compared with a repair.

Fabric or rigid

Fabric dust covers are light, fold away when you play and suit keyboards and synths at home. Rigid covers are moulded plastic lids made for specific mixers, controllers, turntables and synths. They protect against spills and light knocks and can stay on in a gig bag for extra protection on the move, though they are not a replacement for a padded case.

Getting the fit right

Model-specific covers fit precisely and leave cut-outs where needed, for example for cables. Generic covers come in sizes, so measure width, depth and height, including the tallest knob or the pitch and mod wheels, and pick the size that matches without being too loose. Check whether cables can stay connected while the cover is on.

Look and handling

Some covers are transparent so you can still see settings at a glance; others are opaque to block sunlight. Elasticated or fitted edges keep fabric covers in place, and a rigid cover should seat securely without pressing on controls. Fabric covers can be washed or shaken out now and then, so the dust they collect does not end up back on the gear.
