I keep silica gel pouches (of the type that turns from blue to pink when saturated) in the leather pouches where I store my mics, and it seems that the particles in the pouches are routinely becoming saturated (thus pink) within 24 hours of "reactivating" them in the oven to dry them out. This is happening in my office, where humidity levels shouldn't really be all that high. Still, there does definitely seem to be a little more moisture in the air than the silica gel dessicant pouches can deal with without my having to bake them on a daily basis.
How big an issue is this, really? I don't want to risk corrosion, but I don't want to have to dry out the dessicants every day either. Do I need to buy a dehumidifier or something, or am I a little paranoid about something that isn't really a big deal? Just how sensitive to humidity are condenser mics?
Thanks in advance.
