Note: If the microphone has been
exposed to water or sweat it must be
left to dry out to recover its original
specifications. Drying out the Miniature
Microphone between exposures to
humidity will also help to extend its life-
time. Leaving the microphone with the
power on will speed up the drying
process, as the built-in preamplifier will
gently heat up the microphone (idle
power ~ 2 mW).
Tip: In order to save battery power on
the belt pack transmitters while drying
out the microphones, it is a good idea
to use a P48 Phantom Power Adapter
(DAD6001).
Cleaning the microphone grid
During use in environments where the
microphone is exposed to make-up or dusty
materials, the grid may get clogged up.
Remove the microphone grid from the
microphone element and clean the grid
using a soft cloth and distilled water only.
Make sure the grid is dry before remount-
ing it on the microphone element.
Remove grid before cleaning
Cleaning the microphone cable
Residue from tape, glue or make-up on the
cable must be removed after use. Leaving
these substances on the cable over longer
periods of time may etch into the cable
jacket and will make the cable more sus-
ceptible to breaks. The cable can easily be
cleaned using organic oil (e.g. olive oil) or
lukewarm, distilled water.
Do not bend the cable or rub it harshly
since this may stress the inner cores of
the cable and cause them to break over
time.
