Necessary protection?

[Paralectic]

So I have a pair of studio monitors, I was wondering if it's wrong or dangerous for the units to just take off the protection filter thing.

Some say it is, some say it's not.

So can I?

These are the ones I have.

correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you'll just get more dust in your monitors.

Is that any problem? i've seen so much setups without these covers..

They're just dust covers really.  Removing them WILL change your sound, but the change will likely be too small to hear for most, and in most cases is better without the cloth.  The only thing I'd worry about is keeping them clean now.  The cones are usually pretty thin and one sneeze while you're trying to dust them can end in catastrophe, haha!

Sound will slightly change due to the change in diffraction. Not a thing to worry about. If you want to; take it off.

Yeah, when taken off they look cooler. thanks
