Yes, I have heard of this too. But the circumstances that I have
heard of involved close proximity to military radar on a warship, and
another case near radar installations at an airbase. The speculation
was that there was some beating between the rf bias frequency in the
microphones and radar frequencies. An extremely rare event.
I have however had lots of occasions using other microphones where
recordings were rendered impossible or badly compromised;
(i ) by radio interference.
(ii) by humidity (either high relative humidity or moving from a cold
to a warm environment) causing either temporary or permanent failure.
However, I have no partisan cause to expound, nothing in this world
is perfect. I just choose to use MKH series microphones due to their
superb audio specifications coupled with almost flawless performance
in the field. (I have an open mind and will always listen to other
opinions).In this light, they make a great investment.Admitedly they
are not cheap to buy, but you will not need to trade up either; seems
to be cheaper and better in the long term if you can afford the
initial outlay... :-)
