Breeze through mic cleaning with these three cleaning habits to keep your Point Source Audio microphones safe.

1. WIPE "MIKE"

WIPE "MIKE" with 70% isopropyl alcohol

Wipe the entire mic boom and cable with a 70% IPA wipe or soft cloth dampened with 70% IPA.
Concentrate on areas that had been in contact with skin or received respiratory droplets.
Wipe down the mic element with 70% IPA if it is waterproof ( look for the "W" in the model number.)
Gently separate small parts of the microphone to get at all the crevices.

2. WASH "MIKE"

WASH "MIKE" with soap and water (for waterproof mics)

To remove build-up of dirt, dust and makeup, use soap and water to clean the areas that may be too small to get to with a wipe…like the open mic aperture.
To dislodge stubborn build-up, dip the mic element into a sonic bath for two minutes. Remove and shake off the excess liquid. Hang the microphone upside down and allow to AIR DRY for at least 30 minutes.
To disinfect the mic element, dip into 70% IPA for 10 seconds. Remove and shake off excess liquid. The alcohol should evaporate within 20-30 seconds.
