Shure ULX-S vs. Sweat

[joeb]

I typically deal in lighting and carpentry and am not incredibly knowledgeable in sound. That being said, I have a problem. The Shure ULX-S being worn by an actor in a musical stopped transmitting a signal. We switched out the transmitter, kept the same mic element, and it still did not work. When we eventually switched out everything, we discovered a buildup on both the transmitter and the connector that we deduced was most likely due to sweat. While I wrapped mics in condoms at other theatres, we had not done it yet at the high school, but we will now. My question is if there is a safe and proper way to clean both the transmitter and the connector on the mic? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I bet high-concentration alcohol would also work, but it might make the plastic gummy. You'd want to pop out the circuit board from the plastic housing before treatment.

Ditto on the DeoxIT for the connectors and battery terminals. That stuff works miracles.
