To maintain the appearance of the FR-5 loudspeaker as new, occasionally wipe the cabinet surface with a lightly 
dampened soft cloth or chamois leather. Quality wax based furniture polish may be used but you should 
experiment with the least obvious surface such as the back vertical plane (where the terminal panel is) to avoid 
any potential damage to the high quality finish.

humidity or water etc…
