eGloop™ - Electronic Sweat Protectant
The Ultimate Defense Against Sweat.
Synthetic grease with vapor phase corrosion inhibitors. Apply to connectors, battery tags, plugs, and sockets to create a moisture-repellent film that prevents the corrosion that causes crackling and connector failure. The same protectant Fitness Audio technicians apply to every transmitter before it ships.
eGloop™ is a specially formulated protective barrier designed to shield sensitive electronic connectors from the corrosive effects of sweat - the leading cause of wireless microphone failure in fitness environments.
This non-conductive, water-repellent paste creates a moisture-blocking seal around headset microphone plugs and transmitter sockets, preventing sweat intrusion that leads to crackling audio, signal dropouts, and costly equipment repairs.
A small dab applied at the base of your microphone connector forms a protective layer that keeps moisture out without affecting signal transmission. Unlike grease or petroleum-based products, eGloop™ stays in place, won’t run, and is engineered specifically for fitness audio electronics.
Affordable, long-lasting, and easy to apply, eGloop™ is preventative maintenance in its simplest form - extending the life of your wireless system with minimal effort.

FAQ
Common questions
What exactly does eGloop do?
It coats metal connector surfaces with a thin, moisture-repellent film that prevents sweat from making contact with the metal. Sweat contains corrosive salts that eat into connector pins and battery contacts over time — that's what causes crackling and signal dropouts. eGloop blocks that contact. It also contains Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitors that actively protect nearby metal surfaces even where the grease isn't directly applied.
Will it affect my audio signal?
No. eGloop has high dielectric properties, meaning it doesn't conduct electricity and won't interfere with signal transfer. It won't cause shorts, change impedance, or alter the electrical characteristics of your connection in any way.
How often should I reapply?
Under heavy daily use (multiple sweaty classes per day), reapply every 2-3 months. Under moderate use, it lasts longer. The indicator is simple: when you start hearing crackles again, clean with DeoxIT and reapply eGloop.
Do I need to clean the connector first?
Yes. Always clean with DeoxIT DM5 or similar contact cleaner before applying eGloop. The cleaner removes existing corrosion and debris. Then eGloop goes on top to prevent it from coming back. Applying eGloop over dirty connectors just seals the dirt in.
Where exactly do I apply it?
Three places. (1) Inside the transmitter's panel socket — the hole where the mic connector plugs in. (2) On the mic connector pins themselves. (3) On the battery tags inside the transmitter's battery compartment. A small dab at each point is enough. You don't need to coat the entire surface — a thin film does the job.
Does Fitness Audio pre-apply eGloop to their equipment?
Yes. Every U-Series transmitter ships with eGloop already applied to the connector socket and battery contacts. It's part of the standard prep process before the unit leaves the warehouse. Reapplication is the owner's responsibility after that.
Can I use this on Shure equipment?
AV Now does not recommend eGloop for use with Shure brand equipment. Check with your transmitter manufacturer if you're unsure about compatibility with their specific connector type.
Can I use this on cardio equipment?
Yes. eGloop works on any electrical connection exposed to sweat, water, or corrosive fluids. Treadmill console connectors, cycle computer plugs, heart rate monitor contacts — anywhere moisture meets metal.
What's the difference between eGloop and DeoxIT?
ifferent jobs, used together. DeoxIT is a cleaner — it removes existing corrosion and contamination. eGloop is a protectant — it prevents corrosion from coming back. Clean first with DeoxIT, then protect with eGloop. Think of it like brushing your teeth (DeoxIT) and then applying fluoride (eGloop).
Does it harden or get sticky over time?
No. Unlike conventional grease, eGloop doesn't harden, contains no wax, and stays free-flowing. It won't gum up your connectors or attract dust and lint.
