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.
