Wet Cleaning DAT Heads?

[Walter Tore]

I have read that you should NEVER use a wet cleaner on DAT heads, yet I found this product. Anyone know anything about it? Thanks and Merry Christmas! Walter

A tape-based cleaner whether dry or wet is NOT the way to clean either DAT or ADAT units. The only way you should clean them is manually.

It's worthwhile to learn how.... see if you can score a copy of "The Care & Feeding of Your ADAT" video done by BASF/Emtech. It describes the process for ADATs but the head-cleaning procedure is the same for DATs....

Blue Bear: Thanks for that information. I did a bunch of searches for the tape but came up empty. Anyone know where to get one? Thanks and Merry Christmas! Walter
