Sensaphonics has announced the immediate availability of the Dry & Store Zephyr, an electronic desiccant system that they tell us is so effective it actually deodorizes while it dries earphones. The Zephyr combines gentle heat, moving air, and a powerful desiccant (drying agent) to extract moisture and body oils while drying earwax for easy removal.
In testing with customers whose high levels of sweat and body oils can cause their IEMs to fail, using the Dry & Store Zephyr eliminated all residual moisture from the earphones. Significantly, close examination of the earphones in Sensaphonics labs showed no build-up of body oils inside the earphones, even after two months of use.
Sensaphonics President Michael Santucci, Au.D, told Sonic State, "We're very excited by this product, especially for IEM users whose high levels of sweat can actually cause product failure. Finding a way to keep these artists' earphones working reliably has been a real challenge for the industry. The Dry & Store system is the perfect solution for them."
The Dry & Store Zephyr uses Dry-Max™ technology to deliver a controlled amount of warm dry air, a soft but continuous flow of air around the earphones, and a powerful desiccant, the Dry-Brik II. The warming allows more moisture to be extracted, with airflow to carry it to the desiccant, preventing it from re-condensing back in the earphones.
To use the Dry & Store Zephyr, you just place the earphones in the drying compartment, snap the lid shut, and turn the unit on. After the eight-hour drying cycle, the IEMs are totally dry and ready for use. All that's required is AC power. Each Dry-Brick II desiccant is good for a minimum of two months of service, after which a fresh, foil-wrapped replacement is required.
