On picture 1, I don't know if it's gold or brass connectors :)
Thanks in advance for your precious help !

Unless you are noticing problems with the sound of the microphones, don't do it.

Agreed. Something like that is best done by an official neumann service center.
I thought you just baught those, what happened?

Nothing Page :)
It' was like that when I've bought them :)
If I when to cleaning up my "new toys" it's maybe better the send them to Neumann Germany (I'm French)
Thanks once again for your help

If there's nothing wrong with the sound, you're just throwing money out the window.
Unless they are full of smoke or something, there is no reason to have them cleaned. Cleaning removes a bit of the gold sputtering and that is something you want to avoid for as long as possible.
