A while back we were talking about the roll temperature, humidity, etc plays on a mic. Anyway, I asked Alan Hyatt about taking care of condenser mic's, and Alan gave the following advice/tip...
" <snip> Build a mic locker and only set the mic up when you are going to use them. When you do, let them sit in the room for a couple of hours to adjust to the rooms conditions. Do this before you even power them up. Just let them sit for a while on the stand. Remember to turn down all input and output gains before turning on the phantom power, then wait 60 seconds or so to let the mic charge up. Then bring up the gains, and when you turn it off, do the same thing in reverse. <snip>"
Have you hugged your mic's yet today?
