Hi all:
I apologize if this has been covered before...I wasn't having a lot of
luck with the search terms I was using!
1. How do you dust/clean your XLR connectors, etc. (what do you use,
how often do you do it)?
2. To prevent excessive cable wear (from bending), do you completely
disconnect your mic cables when you put your equipment (mic, recorder)
in a bag/case to go out trekking in the field? I have an equipment
case that I can easily put all of my connected gear in (without tight
bends), but I have found that it is a lot easier for me to tote
everything around in a smaller bag. The only drawback with that is
that either a) my cables will be bent at what looks like a pretty
tight angle if I don't disconnect them or b) I have to take the time
to reconnect everything if I unexpectedly happen upon something
interesting. Also, if I disconnect everything, am I unnecessarily
exposing the connectors to dust/humidity/etc?
Thanks =)
Estelle
