General care instructions

The microphone capsule
The microphone capsule features an overmold which only serves as an anti-kink sleeve.
The microphone capsule itself is protected from moisture.
Cleaning after use
Remove the frequency response cap from the microphone
capsule. Hold the microphone by the cable and not by the
anti-kink sleeve.
Shake the microphone capsule to remove excess moisture.

Bathe the microphone capsule in distilled water to loosen
make-up residues and other soiling.
Do not use a cloth or a bristle brush to clean the micro-
phone sound inlet.
Dry the microphone for approx. 12 hours. The microphone
sound inlet has to point downwards during drying.
The cable
The anti-kink sleeve on the connector and the microphone is designed to meet the highest
requirements in quality. The use of additional adhesive tapes or shrink-on tubes can dam-
age the material and reduce the service life of the cable.
Only use lavalier tape (LAV-Tape) to attach the cable to the skin.
Lavalier tape (LAV-Tape) is available as an original Sennhei-
ser accessory.
Cleaning after use
Use a cloth or a fine bristle brush and isopropanol to remo-
ve make-up residues or other soiling.
NOTE: Particular hints for MKE 1 - musical (M) variants
Only use distilled water and a slightly damp cloth for
cleaning the cable.
When cleaning be extremely careful, only use low
pressure, only clean little sections at a time.
Otherwise beads may occur.
Do not use isopropanol! It may damage the surface of the
cable.
