How cold must it get before a mic, any mic, starts to freak out?
Are certain types of mics, including ribbon mics, especially sensitive to cold?
Can a mic element freeze? Will it do permanent damage?
Is it better to leave everything (including monitors, preamps, recorder) in a very cold environment overnight, rather than moving them in and out of a warm room for the night?
I'm planning on doing some recording over the holidays. The only problem is: no heat in the recording room! It looks like it will be a cold one this year, so I need to know this kind of thing before exposing my precious mic collection to the bitter cold...any advice?
Thanks!
