5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Aokeo Microphone Isolation Shield, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. For the sponge material, gently dust or use a soft brush to remove any debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the materials.
- Storage: When not in use, fold the isolation shield for compact storage. Store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections on the stand and shield to ensure they are tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Aokeo Microphone Isolation Shield, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Unstable Stand:
Solution: Ensure all sections of the adjustable stand are fully extended and locked into place. Verify that the tripod legs are spread wide and stable on a flat surface. Check that the isolation shield is securely screwed onto the stand and its backclip is engaged. - Poor Sound Isolation:
Solution: Confirm that the microphone is positioned correctly within the isolation shield, centered and facing the absorbent foam. Ensure the shield is fully expanded and positioned close enough to the microphone to effectively block reflections. Check for any gaps or misalignments in the shield panels. - Difficulty Attaching Microphone:
Solution: Ensure you are using the correct metal thread adapter for your microphone. The kit includes two adapters to fit most standard microphones. If the microphone still doesn't fit, consult your microphone's manual for thread size.
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Aokeo customer support for further assistance.
