It is a very well known phenomenon that true condenser mics suffer in high = humidity. The humidity makes the air gap between the front & rear elements = of the capsule conductive, resulting in pops as the potential between the p= lates discharges. This problem reverses itself once the mics are removed fr= om the humid environment, so no lasting damage. Generally electret condense= rs are less prone than true condensers to this issue, & dynamic mics are co= mpletely free of it, so if one must record in the tropics backup mics of al= ternative technology are suggested.
