Cleaning the microphone element
The microphone diaphragm is protected
inside the microphone element housing
and access to the diaphragm is via a perfo-
rated grid only. It is therefore well protect-
ed from dust build-up and no attempt to
clean the element should be made.
In case any make-up, paint or other materi-
als have reached the element through the
grid, the only recommended method to
clean the microphone element is to use a
dry cotton bud. Clean (or wipe) the sides of
the element facing away from the perfo-
rated protection grid only.
CORRECT USE OF THE MINIATURE
MICROPHONE
It is important to observe the following
guidelines concerning the daily use of the
microphone.
Correct use of microphone grids
The two different protection grids that are
supplied with the Miniature Microphones
Type 4060, 4061, 4062 and Adjustable
Miniature Microphone Headband Type
4066 are for acoustical equalization,
according to the placement on the body of
the performer. When mounted on the head
of the performer, the microphone normally
needs a 3dB soft boost at 8-20kHz,
