Just off a 3 day cooking gig, had the MKH 50 in a boom cradle over a marked spot where talking points/recipes were being delivered. $ times the producer decided to use a portable cooktop at same location (wanting to hold down OT) and copious amounts of steam filtered up thru the MKH 50! I heard no change in audio thereafter, will there be any later issues I should worry about?

Do you think much of the steam dissipated before it got high enough to have a serious accumulation on the mic? Was it wet to the touch? The foam windscreen probably sufficiently protected the element. If you have a Rycote Furry for the mic (I use mine often on the 50), that would be an extra level of protection to use. If you had a Zepp or a Rycote ball that would be your best bet. 50s are pretty tough, and there is no way I would put a Schoeps in that position.

Grant: " they can handle moisture on the capsule. "

OTOH, deposits are deposits!

Whats with the constant desire to add nothing to the conversation?

Seriously, did you not get enough attention from your parents as a kid as that's what your behaviour suggests. It's classic look at me, attention grabbing, I need to be loved, self centered actions.

I'm not so sure about this. I'm assuming he's talking about a deposit of [water/moisture/dirt/whatever] forming on the capsule which is a valid concern which could be discussed. The interesting Sennheiser doc seems to imply (or boldly state) that moisture is no problem, but they don't mention dirt or even a lot of moisture. Or do they? I didn't have time to read it all yet. Anyway, I could be way off. Senator?
