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. Thanks, Aidan
hi Aidan, interesting topic. how would you like to power the unit? Solar? Is there a mobile/other network (plan) available? is the place safe from theft and vandalism?

Hi Udo, there will be power nearby, and it will be on private land, also there is 3g/4g network coverage, so a mobile dongle should work. 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,
I just ordered some stuff to set up a remote mic solar powered (and 4G)
I am planning to document everything.

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

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.

I have one primo EM 172 capsule running for 4 or 5 years continuously outside, protected by nothing except a garbage piece of foam, without any problems, guess they get wet all the time...
I had a stream running recently for about 4 days from a wetland near Berlin, the mics were wrapped in foam and fake fur (the cheapes you can get), but birds have plucked the fur for nesting and rain soaked into the foam. The mics (AOM electrets) went noisy, almost unusable. (But drying them out at 50°C for one hour in the oven has restored best performance ;)
oh, btw locusonus: the stream in Brno, CZ uses AOM mounted on a roof without protection, only some cheap foam and fake fur. Works fine since a few month so far.
So my advice: maybe protect the mics from direct rain, but don't seal them into something waterproof because of condensing water. Personally I'd go for electrets, like Primo or AOM.
bests, Udo

Maybe because they were phantom powered ? I got these strange phenomena ( high pitch oscillation, crackle, ... ) The dynamics sounds ok & are stable for a long time in weather & wind
For my other work(s) I use only pro condenser mic's ( Sennheiser MKH series ) ... a little times band or dynamic

a thunderstorm is coming nearby ... http://planktone.be/planktuin
I agree These are key questions I make long term streamboxes in dribox housings and put a slate tile (of something similar) on the top. I power them via PoE if possible
Some of the details here are relevant (some not) https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/Streambox-with-Focusrite-Soundcard--BMM3eVjy3B... I assume you would now want to use the IQ audio Zero with Pi Zero..
