Introduction
Typical applications for the DPA 4071 are ENG/EFP use on the
reporter in studio or in the field, or film production use with
hidden microphone placements on the actors. To ensure optimal
performance of your DPA Miniature Microphone, please follow the
simple care and maintenance instructions below.
Cleaning guide
Miniature Microphones from DPA are designed to be very resistant
to humidity, moisture and sweat. Highly resistant materials are used
in construction of the microphones, to avoid damage by hostile
fluids. In any case, it is still good practise to keep the 4071 away
from any kind of unnecessary exposure to water and cleaning
fluids and to keep the microphone element dry at all times. 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
protection grid under any circumstances.
Do not use any kind of cleaning fluid other than demineralized water.
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 permanent damage to the electret layer.
Cleaning the microphone grid
During use in environments where the microphone is exposed to
make-up or dusty materials, the grid may get clogged up. If needed,
clean the grid using a soft cloth and demineralized water only.
Cleaning the microphone cable
Residue from tape, glue or make-up on the cable must be
removed after use using organic oil (e.g. olive oil) or lukewarm,
deminer alized water. Use of organic oil after cleaning the cable may
help protect the cable sleeve thereby prolonging its useful life.
Do not bend the cable or rub it harshly since this may stress the inner
cores of the cable and cause them to break over time.
Correct use of adapters and MicroDot connectors
To provide users with safe and compact mounting of connectors,
all Miniature Microphones from DPA are fitted with the MicroDot
connector as standard. A broad range of connection adapters is
oered as optional accessories for most VHF and UHF systems
for professional use. A connector-tightening tool is supplied with
each adapter and is the only recommendable way to tighten the
MicroDot.
Correct use of the Miniature Microphone
It is important to observe the following guidelines concerning the
daily use of the microphone.
When mounting the 4071 directly on the skin of a performer, care
should be taken to avoid sweat from running into the microphone.
If the microphone gets filled up with water or sweat it will not
be damaged, but possibly turn deaf while the water is captured
inside the microphone, behind the protection grid. Remove the
water by shaking the microphone gently or drying it with a piece
of lint free cloth. When it is left to dry out it will recover its original
specifications. Drying out the 4071 between exposures to humidity
will also help to extend its lifetime.
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. Handling noise from the cable
can be decreased by up to 30 dB by making a loose loop in the
cable, as close to the microphone element as possible.
