Microphones and monitors: protect capsules, grilles and speakers from contaminants

Microphones and monitors directly convert air movement and pressure, so dust, liquids and impacts deserve particular attention.

Use suitable protection for microphones during transport and storage and do not apply liquids to the capsule. On monitors and loudspeakers, avoid touching cones and tweeters and keep any ventilation openings clear.

If a grille or protection can be removed according to manufacturer instructions, clean it separately and allow it to dry completely before refitting.
