I would not spray silicon on a microphone without knowing very well what=0D
I was doing.=0D
An experience I have of silicon, is that if you spray it on wind=0D
protection foam, rain goes right through the foam, instead of being=0D
(partly) soaked up.=0D
If I really needed to protect my microphone, I would use a condom. It=0D
affects the sound very little and doesn=B4t rattle.=0D
