I've got an XLR mic that is almost open to the elements, a large but covered space.
It's been there a couple of years and the mic and connections seem fine, though the wingnuts and clamping screws are lightly rusted.
Should I put anything on the mic's connections/body?
I think I'll just clean up and put vaseline on the wingnuts/clamping screws unless someone suggests better.
It's a fairly static installation so doesn't get touched from year to year.
