How do you store your mics

Said before, but the rolling utility tour rack with multi drawers for all of my expensive microphones that don't have metal flight cases.
Found a web site years ago with a great price on all of their cases .... I'll post up the name if I can find or remember it.
 
Sometimes I store then on a mic stand. I really should get more than one stand, eventually. Oddly though, the thing mounted to my mic stand at the moment is the camcorder. To boom where no tripod can go.

I used to do that before I had kids and the drums and amps were permanently set up. I used to cover the lot with a sheet. It looked like some bizarre modern art sculpture. Mind you, I only had 4 mics !

This should be a separate thread within it's self but ....... isn't it funny how children gravitate towards a microphone on a stand like a moth to a flame. Every single time a child has to try out that microphone.
 
Store them vertically...so the ribbon doesn't sag to one side.
 
Leave a Shure 55 up on a stand, because kids can't damage it, but it can damage them! :laughings:

Other mics, in their bag on a shelf.

Silica packs might feel good, but after a month or less they will no longer be capable of absorbing moisture. So you have to swap them out or bake them constantly . . . if your house is at a reasonable humidity (that is, you don't live in a rainforest), you shouldn't need to worry about it.

If you take the mics out of the house, then you need to be concerned with condensation, especially going from moist warm indoor air (with some of that trapped in the bag) to cold outdoor air.
