Which dynamics did you use? I've had a pair of Behringer XM8500's nearly exposed to the elements for the last eleven years (streams are not currently online, but the mics are fine). Just use a pair of Rode Dead Kittens on one set, and Rycote SM58 wind jammers on the other. At some point, I would like to set up a new box with protected electret condensers, though.

...

 

Don't

I decided after my electrets started to create side effects ( had 3 sets ) to go for dynanmic mic's

They are now for 2 years outside protected by a wooden box

what about condoms for the mics?

not sure, whether better tight or blown up or both crap?

anyone experience with that?

I’m thinking a NEMA rated weatherproof box for the pi/sound card/mobile dongle, it’s the mics I am wondering about really. Would a blimp survive a prolonged outdoor season? Perhaps mount mic capsules in some kind of weatherproof box with grommets to protect from weather ingress?

>> Hi folks,

>> I have an opportunity this summer to install a permanent outdoor streaming mic on a beautiful secluded island off the coast of Cork, Ireland this summer. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for making a permanent outdoor mic streaming rig? Once installed, the rig will be left alone for months on end. It needs to be fully weather proof and durable.
