4.3 Cleaning the
Internal Windscreen
1. Never let more than two
persons share a micro-
phone.
2. The microphone is very in-
sensitive to off-
axis sounds. If the two vo-
calists were to sing into the
microphone from an angle
wider than 35 degrees, you
may end up bringing up the
fader of the microphone channel far enough to create a
feedback problem.
To clean the surface of the microphone body, use a soft
cloth moistened with water.
To clean the surface of the microphone body, use the sup-
plied microfiber cloth.
Dust, moisture, lipstick, etc. may gradually turn the windscreen
inside the front grill into a “high-frequency trap” making the mi-
crophone sound dull. We therefore recommend cleaning the in-
ternal windscreen as soon as the microphone sound begins to
lose its sparkle and clarity.
1. Unscrew the front grill from the microphone CCW.
2. Remove the internal windscreen from the front grill.
3. Soak the internal windscreen in soap suds and squeeze out
the suds again. Repeat three or four times.
4. Allow the internal windscreen to dry overnight.
5. Insert the cleaned internal windscreen into the front grill.
6. Screw the front grill on the microphone CW.
