Hello Everyone, What are the physical principles behind why are condenser microphones are adversely affected by high moisture? Is it a matter of humidity, condensation, moisture absorption, or some o
Sounds like the evil moisture monster is hiding in there somewhere. Ive only seen the MX391O version of this capsule which maybe different. Try another capsule head first, if it still has the proble
Smear the insulators of the capsule and body with a touch of silicone grease, making sure you avoid any vents or apertures. That should prevent any tracking due to moisture. The BBC Film Unit worksh

Not sure how one could protect it; it has to ventilate. Maybe its wise for one to take a spare 40-80 GB 2.5" drive since its the most vulnerable part. Not too expensive all things considered: $80-130
I don't have enough experience with the 722, itself, if humid tropical environments, Derek, to say with some authority that it would be sufficient. On the other hand, having been told of potential D
