Cleaning guide
The Miniature Microphones from DPA are designed to be highly resistant to humidity, moisture and
sweat. Though highly resistant materials like gold plated stainless steel are used in construction and
the microphones feature the highly acknowledged "double-vent-protection-system" to avoid them
from being damaged by hostile fluids it is still a good idea to keep the Miniature Microphones away
from any kind of unnecessary exposure to water and cleaning fluids.
Attention: Keep the microphone element dry at all times.
No attempt to clean the element should be made before
reading the cleaning guide carefully. Do not use any kind of
cleaning fluid other than distilled water with maximum 10%
alcohol on any other part of the Miniature Microphone.
Do not use soap. Use of ultra-sonic baths must be avoided.
Avoid all kinds of spray or fluids, which contains chemical
components to remove static electricity on or close to the
microphone as damage can be done to the electret layer.
Attention: Routine cleaning
should be avoided. Do not
clean the microphone if the
microphone is fully functional and does not need cleaning. Clean
only the parts of the microphone which need cleaning, i.e. cable or
protection grid and read the cleaning guide carefully. Avoid
cleaning of the microphone element as long as possible.
Attention: When mounting the Miniature Microphones directly on the skin of a performer, care
should be taken to avoid sweat from running directly into the microphone. If the microphone gets
filled up with water or sweat it will not be damaged, but possibly turn deaf while the water is
captured inside the microphone behind the protection grid. Remove the water by shaking the
microphone or drying it with a dry piece of cloth. The microphone should then be fully functional.
