eGloop – Electronic Sweat Protectant
Corrosion-inhibiting grease for mic connectors and transmitter sockets. It leaves a thin film that keeps sweat off the pins, the cause of most crackles and dropouts. It doesn't conduct, so it won't affect your signal.
Clean the connector, then apply a small dab at the base once a month. Fitness Audio technicians apply it to every transmitter before it ships.

A thin film between sweat and your pins.
Corrosion-inhibiting grease for mic connectors and transmitter sockets. Sweat on the pins causes most crackles and dropouts. eGloop doesn't conduct, so it won't affect your signal.
The routine
Clean first. Then eGloop.
Clean the transmitter connector with DeoxIT, and the headset plug too while you're at it. Then put a small dab of eGloop on the transmitter connector. Once a month does it.
When you plug back in, push the connector straight in. Never twist it. To unplug, press the button firmly and pull.

For the instructor
Mic crackling when you move? Check the pins. Clean them, add eGloop, and plug back in straight.
It stays put. eGloop doesn't harden or turn sticky, so it won't gum up the socket or collect lint.
For the studio
Fitness Audio technicians apply eGloop to every transmitter before it ships. After that it's yours to keep up. Put it on the monthly list next to windscreen swaps.
It works on any electrical connection that sees sweat or water, cardio equipment connectors included.

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?
Once a month. Clean the pins with a contact cleaner, then apply a small dab.
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 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?
Different 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.
