Hi,
I"m wondering how to avoid Condenser Microphone get humid/moisture!
Should I keep it in a sealed tup or bag? Should I put it in the Dry Cabinet? Still, what's the hygrometer reading for Condenser Mic?
 
Short of extremely high ambient humidity, it's not a concern.
A few general tips/guides;
Extended close vocal work can expose the cap to higher moisture. Let it sit for a bit before 'wrapping it up.
'Wrapping it means a loose fitting plastic bag. 'Loose means the mic is protected from attracting dust, but always lets it remain 'equalized to the changing ambient humidity. I.e. baring having brought it in from from very cold storage to a warm room, moisture won't condense around it.
Forget the gel 'moisture capsules -unless you're oven renewing them, and/or using them in air (moisture) tight packaging, they're done dong anything in a matter of hours of being exposed.
 
Appreciate Mixsit!
This means (just to ensure) No "Dehumidifiers" or "Silica Gel" needed. Just KEEP it well in a Zip-Lock Bag will do? That simple? (can't believe, wahaha...)
