Microphone Cleaning (handheld mics)

There are two very important reasons to keep your microphone clean.

1. Hygiene/Germs, especially when a mic is used by multiple people, can unknowingly be spread.
2. Dried spit, dust, dirt and debris can build up in the screen and sponge, negatively affecting the microphones’ ability to accurately pick up and reproduce the voice or instrument.

To clean the microphone…

1. Remove/Unscrew the grille from the microphone, turning counter-clockwise.

2. Remove the foam from the inside of the grille.

​​​​​​​

3. Wash the foam with warm water and dish soap.
4. Clean the grille with any household non-abrasive disinfectant/cleaner.
5. Thoroughly dry both the grille and the foam.
6. Insert the foam into the grill.
7. Screw the grille back onto the microphone, turning clockwise.

NOTE: For quality purposes, it is recommended that the screen of the microphone be cleaned once per month when used on a regular basis. For hygienic purposes, when used by multiple people, cleaning is recommended more often, possibly even nightly.
