The microphone diaphragm is protected inside the microphone element housing and access to the diaphragm is via a perfo rated grid only Itis 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 ary cotton bud Clean Cor 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 4063 and Adjustable Miniature Microphone Headbands Type 4066 and 4067 are for acoustical equalization according to the placement on the body of the performer When mounted on the head of the per former the microphone normally needs a 3 dB soft boost at 8 20 KHz A Soft boost grid B High boost grid provided by the soft boost grid position A Type 4065 Miniature Microphone Headband is only supplied with the soft boost grid as the microphone will always be placed near the mouth Note The microphone is supplied with the soft boost grid fitted This grid must be removed before being replaced by the high boost gri

10. d Avoid excessive force or tampering when removing or mounting the grid as it may cause damage to the grid and the net on top of the grid may become detached A tip would be to use the connector tightening tool mentioned on page 7 Correct use of the microphone element The diaphragm in the microphone element is the most sensitive part of the unit and as emphasized earlier it must be left untouched to preserve its original charac teristics Do not spray any substances such as hair spray directly into the micro phone and avoid getting make up or paint on the microphone element and housing The protection grids are available in three standard colours Black beige and white Check if a different coloured protection grid will be less visible before painting or colouring a microphone grid cl aranja m DMMOOO8 Miniature Clip Double Lock Correct treatment of the microphone cable The cable is usually longer than required for its actual purpose Ensure that superfluous cable is wound up in soft loops preferably 6 8 cm in diameter Avoid kinks in the cable Exposing the cable to stretching beyond its specifications or stressing it by winding it tightly over sharp edges will reduce the microphone s operational life Tip Handling noise from the cable can be decreased by up to 30dB by making a loose loop in the cable as close to the microphone element as possible The DMMOOO8 Miniature Clip double lock is designed

12. oximate position that the microphone boom should be placed on the cheek between the ear and the mouth Hold the headband when pushing or pulling the microphone boom Please note that when placed near the ear the high boost grid should be used in order to compensate for the high frequency loss in this position Note The capsule features an omnidi rectional transducer and it is therefore not necessary to pull the capsule to the front of the mouth It can be placed very discreetly on the cheek and still produce a highly detailed and clean sound by using the specially designed DPA grids Please see page 4 Now take up the 4066 4067 and adjust the size of the headband so that it fits the size of your head Start with an oversized headband and use both hands simultane ously holding your index fingers on the back of the headband while pushing in the ear hook parts inwards with your thumbs If you want the position of the microphone boom to be altered at this point adjust ments are still possible simply by drawing the boom while holding a firm grip with the other hand on the headband For discrete placement you can now choose to bend the microphone boom slightly so that the capsule is as close to the cheek as possible This will minimise the risk of shadows on the face when used in applications where heavy spot lights are common Do not bend by holding on the capsule itself but bend the wire boom making a smooth curve wi
