[QUOTE="Binoseeker, post: 2983326, member: 109987"] Searched the web and found some info on microphones that may or may not withstand humidity. I have made no judgement if they are good for recording birds or not, but maybe you can see where to look for further information/suggestions. Audio-Technica - PRO24 and AT815ST STEREO SHOTGUN MICROPHONE Avoid leaving the microphone in the open sun or in areas where temperatures exceed 110° F (43° C) for extended periods. Extremely high humidity should also be avoided. Sennheiser MKH-microphone RF-type Sennheiser MKH-mics seems to withstand humidity well. DPA 4011A Cardioid Microphone Temperature range: -40 °C to 45 °C (14 °F to 113 °F) Relative Humidity (RH): Up to 90 % DPA 4060/4061/ ..etc Miniature Microphones from DPA are designed to be resistant to humidity and moisture. Highly resistant materials like gold plated stainless steel, and features like the double-vent protection system, are used in construction of the microphones to avoid damage by fluids. Keep the Miniature Microphones away from exposure to water and cleaning fluids, and keep the microphone element dry at all times. Mipro - MU-55LS Miniature MU-55LS is inconspicuous, lightweight and waterproof. Beyer Dynamic MCE 55.09 BLK Mini condenser lavaliere microphone (omnidirectional), black, waterproof Beyer Dynamic TG L55C (Black) Condenser clip-on microphone (omnidirectional), waterproof Da-cappo DA04BE Waterproof, can withstand rain. / Anders [/QUOTE]
