Fitness-Rated: A Seal of Quality
A product is classed as “fitness-rated” by Fitness Audio when it is designed to withstand the unique demands put on it daily by fitness professionals in the demanding group exercise environment. These products are not only fitness-friendly but also easy to use, especially for non-technical customers. Additionally, all fitness-rated products are backed by Fitness Audio’s Lifetime Technical Support, ensuring that customers receive no-charge technical advice and troubleshooting whenever needed.
Sweat and Fitness Microphone Headsets
Fitness Audio’s commitment to quality extends to its microphone headsets, which are designed to withstand prolonged sweat exposure. The company offers a range of fitness-rated headset microphones, each with a specific sweat rating that indicates the recommended usage guidelines for fitness classes. Rotating transmitters and headsets on a class-by-class basis is recommended to maximise the lifespan of the equipment and ensure optimal performance. Fitness Audio also provides additional solutions for managing sweat-related issues, including windscreens, mic belts, and microphone cases.
Extending the Lifespan of Fitness Microphones
To help prolong the life of fitness-rated headset microphones, Fitness Audio highly recommends letting the headsets rest for at least an hour in a well-ventilated area between classes and swapping to another dry headset for the following class. Proper maintenance, such as removing wet windscreens and cleaning connector wires and transmitters, is essential for ensuring the longevity and performance of fitness audio equipment. Fitness Audio offers a range of transmitter maintenance products and ongoing customer support to assist customers in maintaining their equipment.
The fitness-rated headset microphones that withstand prolonged sweat exposure are:
- the Aeromic Fitness Headset Microphone (sweat rated for up to 7 group exercise classes per day),
- the Cyclemic Fitness Headset Microphone (sweat rated for up to 7 spin classes per day),
- and the E-Mic Fitness Headset Microphone (sweat rated for up to 3 non-consecutive classes per day).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is it necessary to rotate headsets between fitness classes?
A: An overabundance of sweat can deteriorate a headset microphone quickly, especially in a fitness setting. Certain microphone manufacturers go to the extent of adding a waterproofing material during the manufacturing process to help slow down the deterioration of components. Even with this extra step, it’s inevitable that the microphone may eventually start sounding muffled or “underwater”.
Q: How can I protect my fitness microphone headsets from sweat?
A: Fitness Audio recommends using windscreens to protect the microphone from sweat and to help with the popping noise that sometimes occurs when speaking into the headset. Additionally, removing wet windscreens after each use and replacing them with dry ones is essential for maintaining the equipment.
Q: What are the recommended maintenance practices for fitness-rated microphone headsets?
A: Proper maintenance includes letting the headsets rest in a well-ventilated area between classes, cleaning connector wires and bodypack transmitters, and using specific maintenance products designed for microphones. Fitness Audio offers a range of maintenance products and microphone cases to support customers in caring for their fitness audio equipment.
