@ToniBarth 2x BehringerXM8500 on a stereo bar, Raspberry Pi4 4GB in the living room which is resting on the window ledge inside the house. The XLR cables come through the bottom of the window and I just slammed and locked the window on the cables. They're thick enough to stand it, so don't care if they're a little kinked. They've been out there constantly in changing weather since 2016 and still working. I think I've changed the cables a couple of times since that time, but not the mics.

OK so the mics are exposed to water in rain rather regularly? I'm always particularly careful to prevent that from happening, although i'm usually fiddling around with much more expensive mics. I guess destroying $20 mics in pouring rain is much less critical than $500 mics or pricier. I just don't know how they stand water, especially in the case that it gets into the sockets of the XLR plugs.
