Cleaning a shotgun mic
Hi,
I have a Neumann KMR81i here that needs a good clean. I've dismantled it to reveal the inner mesh, leaving the shotgun tube with end cap. Whats the do's and don'ts to clean both the mesh and the end cap, which is particularly gunked up? Cheers, Gareth. http://www.neumann.com/?lang=en&id=c..._descrip tion |

I would soak both the cap & mesh screen in warm soapy water and gently clean with a soft toothbrush to loosen the gunk. Once the gunk & dirt are loose/gone rinse with clean water and dry with tissues then let air dry. You could also use 91% isopropyl alcohol instead of the soap & water. Eric |

You wouldn't use this? It seems to be made for the job. G http://tinyurl.com/shotgun-kit |

Eric I think I'll go with Eric's suggestion, thank you very much guys. (I was just slightly concerned in case there was anything special about the end cap and its hole structure) Cheers! Gareth. |
