Large Condenser Tube mic in Home Studio

Any issues with leaving it setup as long as the power supply is turned off? It's a Stellar CM5.
 
I usually disconnect it every night-hassle.
 
Thanks

    It is good practice to cover a large condenser to keep dust off the film, but otherwise there shouldn't be issues.

    ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero (Wi-Fi AC), i7-8700k, 16GB RAM, GTX-1070Ti, Win 10 Pro, Saffire PRO 24 DSP, A-300 PRO, plus numerous gadgets and gizmos that make or manipulate sound in some way.

    As mettelus says, turn it off and cover it.  That is what most studios do.

    Great Folks -  Should have asked a long time ago. I have a great cover for it and I'll leave it setup and just turn of everything else including the "CM5 power box."
     
    Thanks and Thanks

    As long as its on a "sturdy" stand and out of the way; cover it.

    Hi Tom
     
    It is very secure and out of the way of traffic in the home studio. I have some remy martin covers for it-nice velour type material
     don't ask :-)
    Thanks

    Tip: Anybody have an SM7b? The big extra foam windscreen makes a great dust cover for most U47/87-style LDCs. You can also use it in place of a pop filter on such condensers!
