No actual experience with one myself.=C2=A0 I did own an AT4033a at one tim= e, but sold it to fund my current field recorder.=C2=A0 And never had the o= pportunity to use it outdoors.=C2=A0 (or nerve).=C2=A0 But what I've heard = is that they can become dull sounding and even cut in and out at times when= less than dry.=C2=A0 But that's mainly with vocalists breathing on them.= =C2=A0 There's a light trick where you sit them next to an incandescent lig= ht for about an hour to dry them out.=C2=A0 And one advantage is that their= form factor allows you to fly them upside down to offer some limited prote= ction of the mic element from rain.=C2=A0 Not that you should fly them in s= uch conditions. - James --- On Mon, 8/9/10, David Carmean <> wrote: |
