Silica Packets (I think thats what they are called)
« on: October 01, 2006, 06:08:59 PM »
Hey all.... You know those little packets of tiny rocks that are included with electronics/mics when you buy them new to reduce mositure in the packaging?  I think they are called Silica packets.

Anyway it was recommended to me that when storing mics I shold buy a few of these and place them pretty much right over the mic diaphram.  However, no one I've asked knows where to buy them.

So .... Am I calling them the right thing?  And where can I get a few?

Pockets full of nickels and nothing left to eat, and I'm stuck behind a semi on Soniat Street.
