Since many of us are in the northern hemisphere and it's beginning to get quite cold. I can't have my streambox outside because the opened window, even if it's tiny crack, lets too much cold air into the house.

If you are in the same situation, I wonder, how have you placed your Locustream mic to pick up outdoor sounds without having the window open and freezing inside?

Look at the pictures of my installation on the soundmap (my stream : nice_mouans)

Mu microphone is out a window with an audio cable that is wedged under the closing of the window. But of course I don't have any issue or problem with insulation because the climate is mild here. But I hesitated to drill a hole into the wood with adding a insulating material (for instance rubber). I think it's possible to find a simple insulation solution for the hole. My microphone is fixed outside with a hook in the wood of the window in an upper position in order to be protected from the rain and the wind. The audio cable runs to the streambox and I have a long ethernet cable to the DSL modem (15m).

I am hesitant to drill a special hole through the wall in the room where the streambox box is located. I haven't yet found the time to install an extra long network cable from the router through the wall, leading it to a place where the cable can pass to the exterior of the house.

Being outside also means that exposure to extreme cold, water and ice, and dust could have a negative effect on the operation of the streambox. I suppose this will be a part of the experiment.

we don't provide a down jacket for the streambox ;-)

All the best,
Eric
