answer from Rode. They suspect that the issue is moisture and humidity related and would like me to store the microphone with a silica packet in a cool, dry place for 24 hours,

Serving Suggestion: I have used silica packs to dry stuff out - especially camera gear. You might consider accumulating multiple packs and sealing them with the capsule in a plastic bag. My wife manages a major clothing department store and brought home dozens of silica gel packs from various departments - gifts, shoes, handbags, and so forth. You might be able to collect several fresh packs of silica gel from a local store and give it a really good drying out! I have done this for camera lenses, microphones, and other gear with good results. I do not believe you can have too much, but then I am not a chemist, so you are on your own, but I believe one is good, several are "gooder." You be the judge. :-) Lotsa luck, old man. James
