One other form of desiccation is to use a desk lamp with a 100 watt light
bulb to warm it up. Production sound folks are fond of this method. At
least
one manufacturer recommends it.
This worked with a noisy Studio Projects mike. I can't advise on safe
temperatures, since I simply took a gamble. An IR thermometer indicates
that
the temperature with a desk lamp at 8 inches is in the range of 120F.
Never use this method on an electret mike, which yours is not.
Interesting, Bob.
Are you saying that heat hastens the demise of the "permanent"
polarization, or is
there some other problem?

Yes, exactly, particularly with AT mikes. DPA claims a much more rugged
electret.

Particularly? Where's the proof on that!?!
