Have your mics been getting up close and personal with viral laden string instruments, or worse: lips/tongues/vocal cords....been consorting with unknown flutes, bassoons and tubas..... failing to maintain social distance from dubious looking drumkits, pianos and harpsichords ?

You know your favourite ribbon and condensor mic capsules don't take kindly to 'swab intrusion' !

Fear no more....have we got a "no contact sterilizer" for you !!

Deodorizes too...

Sorry, though...LD mics not admissible.

Have we got the solution for you .....

My favorite wavelength is 253.7nm right now

UV Disinfection: More Background

There's new evidence that "far" UV-C (222 nm) also works and it's much safer for humans.

The GS link to the web site showing the UV device no longer takes us to the actual device.

Here ya go.

Thank you.

FWIW, we put paper mail aside for 24 hours and plastics aside for 72 hours.

While my country largely has community spread under control (high daily public testing rates, typically fewer than 10 cases country-wide in recent months, with occasional breakouts), the principal source of such breakouts is from the staff servicing our 'quarantine hotels'.

These are dedicated hotels which house returning ex-pats from overseas for their mandatory 14 days confinement...and frequently they will test + in that period. Unexplained room to room viral transmission is now casting increasing suspicion upon the shared ducted air conditioning, which links rooms' air reservoirs.

I wonder if retrofitting these COVID-sterilising UV light modules to the air con ducts (perhaps engineering some additional loops or spirals into the ducting to increase the air column exposure to the UV) might significantly reduce the 'viral load' in the air supply between adjacent rooms ?

If these lights only work well on surfaces, and not air, then the concept is inapplicable. In that case, some sort of active filtering (electrostatic) or the sort of measures used in operating theatres would be more likely to succeed ...but probably highly expensive to retrofit to existing hotel rooms ?
