Ethan writes in his book. Question - it is the same with monitor speakers?  |

Sure, why not... except plastic sandwich bags will probably not fit over your monitors  Cheers, Rock |

This is probably a joke but on the long shot it's not...
Probably not since the power difference between the two is massive.
And if this was a joke:
Bahahahah

Dust on a microphone diaphragm can lose high frequencies. Dust on a loudspeaker driver is shaken off in the first 100 milliseconds you play music.  |

Out of curiosity
Is there any somehow easy way to check if dust has affected your mic's high frequencies without running a test in an anechoic room?
(If i play pink sound and plug the mic in an another computer and put close to one of my speakers I will get a reliable reading? )
Or the "dust effect" will be really audible in recording and playback and it is enough to go by ear ?
thanks

I really think you'll need a point of reference. If you measured your mics when they were new, you might see a difference later if your setup was EXACTLY the same as when they were new. So if you didn't, the answer is probably no. The "dust effect"... I'd guess it's a matter of degree but who want's to find out, just put them away. (or put bags on them)
For -m: the giant sandwich bags for giant sandwiches was kind of a joke (If you have to explain a joke...). The part about putting a bag over your monitors was not meant to be funny, I'm sure some people feel better if there's no dust on their stuff. I put a towel over my KBs sometimes, it does help to keep the dust off but they don't sound any better.
Cheers,
Rock

Thanks
Bags on them are better - I agree
I asked the question --- because was just wondering if you can find out with the method I said like pink sound -- if a mic has been significantly affected or not by being exposed to dust etc - say for instance you want to buy a slightly used one -- like that or you have been ...careless etc and you want to see if it still OK ---
or just it will be so audible you will get it without any test..?

For sure. Dust is a serious concern - scratchy guitar pots etc. Plus that stuff can get caked on and isn't pretty. I use the towel and bandana method myself.
