1. MANUAL 4071 2 13 05 03 9 21 Introduction To ensure optimal performance of your DPA Miniature Microphone please follow the simple care and maintenance instruc tions below Miniature Microphones from DPA are designed to be very resistant to humidity moisture and sweat Highly resistant mate rials like gold plated stainless steel and fea tures like the double vent protection sys tem are used in construction of the micro phones to avoid damage by hostile fluids In any case it is still a good idea to keep the Miniature Microphones away from any kind of unnecessary exposure to water and cleaning fluids and to Keep the microphone element dry at all times 1 Cleaning guide The cable and protection grid are the only parts that may be cleaned if necessary The protection grid is permanently fixed and protects the microphone element inside Do not attempt to remove the pro tection grid under any circumstances Do not use any kind of cleaning fluid other than distilled water Use of ultra sonic baths must be avoided Avoid all Kinds of spray or fluids which contain chemical components to remove static electricity on or close to the microphone as this could cause dam age to the electret layer When mounting the Miniature Microphone directly on the skin of a performer care should be taken to avoid sweat from run ning directly into the microphone If the microphone gets filled up with water or sweat it will not be dam2.
