You could take a look at the Sennheiser MKH418-S, which is a MKH416 shotgun=
with an added figure-of-eight mike added. As it=92s in the MKH family and =
is for news teams it ought to reasonably weatherproof, though I=92ve never =
tested any of my mikes in high humidity.
Thanks

About humidity, we have many different biomas here in Brazil and some of th=

I was just wondering how the stereo image on a large diaphragm microphone w=

In my time at National Public Radio in the US I know we used an SM69 for so=

In Brazil, I=92d want to know how humid the recording locations would be. T=

Hello people,I am a Brazilian field recordist and this is my first conversa=
