Safety & maintenance
When not in use, always keep your Stereo VideoMic X in a cool, dry
place, preferably in a camera bag or equivalent to protect from dust
or damage. When not in use for long periods of time, remove the
battery before storage. Do not expose the Stereo VideoMic X to rain
or moisture.
It is recommended that the pop shield be left on at all times
possible to protect the microphone and sensitive capsules from
damage, dust and moisture.
In instances where the microphone has become exposed to the
elements and the foam has become moist or dirty, it may be
necessary to remove the foam gently and dry it separately to
the microphone body to prevent moisture from damaging the
microphone. Take care in this operation so as not to damage or tear
the foam during removal. The foam windshield can be hand washed
in cold water, then dried thoroughly in the sun before refitting.
Inside the Stereo VideoMic X box, you will find a sachet of moisture
absorbent crystals. Please retain these crystals and store with the
Stereo VideoMic X to keep the microphone in ideal condition.
