Correct use of microphone grids
The two different protection grids that are supplied with 4066, 4067, and d:fine66 are
for acoustical equalization, depending on the placement on the performer. Remove the

Cable maintenance
The cable is usually longer than required. Make sure that superfluous cable is wound up
in soft figure-of-eight loops (preferably 6 – 8 cm (2.5 – 3 in) diameter) and avoid kinks
in the cable.
Use organic oil (e.g. olive oil) or lukewarm distilled water to remove residue from
tape, glue, or make-up on the cable. Do not bend the cable or rub it harshly, it may
stress the inner cores of the cable and cause them to break over time.
General Maintenance
The d:fine Headsets are resistant to high levels of humidity. However, care must
be taken to keep the headset microphone away from exposure to water and
cleaning fluids, and to keep the microphone head dry at all times. Do not use spray
or use fluid containing chemicals that could remove static electricity on or close to
the microphone. This could cause permanent damage.

MicroDot connectors and adapters
To provide users with safe and compact mounting of connec-
tors, all headsets from DPA are fitted with the MicroDot con-
nector as standard. A broad range of connection adapters is
offered as optional accessories for most wireless systems for
professional use. See www.dpamicrophones.com/adapters
Use the supplied connector-tightening tool whenever the
MicroDot connector needs to be fastened to the adapter for
long periods of time.
