Re: Large Diaphragm mics in low temperatures

["Bruce Wilson" bruceumba]

I do have two NT2000's, and maybe I'll work down to the low temperatures in 
stages-I'd hate to kill a diaphragm finding out. I'm very curious about the 
low-temp noise, though, and maybe that will make the experiment worth the 
risk.

Just as a point of reference, I bought two NT2000's and one had noise at 
room temperature, sounded like loud shot noise (intermittent low-volume 
crackle). I sent it back and the replacement sounds okay. I looked over the 
bad mic's circuits and saw no obvious problem like a cold solder joint that 
I could fix myself.

Rob, I like the idea of an outdoor version of a mic. I'm pretty sure we're 
getting to be the most demanding mic users in terms of noise and accuracy. 
maybe a company could capitalize on that and release mics of "nature 
recording quality."
