Personally I find 55% feels too humid. I'd keep it at 50% here year round if I could. :)

It depends on the temperature. It's called "relative" humidity. A 50% relative humidity at 80 degrees contains much more moisture than 50% relative humidity at 65 degrees. The higher the temperature, the more moisture it can contain. Dewpoint is a better measure, particularly when determing what it "feels like". As to how this applies to audio, I have no opinion/knowledge. |
I watched an interesting video on Rick Beato’s site, he was interviewing a sound guy who did live concert sound. He mentioned that they must take humidity into consideration when setting up the sound in the live event as it effects the sound quite a bit. He gave no humidity levels, but it makes sense. |
Interesting, never really thought about humidity changing sound. Usually do it for comfort, static reasons. Here in the PNW, we have had a colder winter, humidity has dropped into the 20%, my skin hates it, my plants hate it, my TT really hates it. Been running my humidifier 12+ hours a day on high. Got the humidity around 45% now. Can't say I notice a sound difference. But I have thinking "my system sounds really good" lately. |
@abnerjack Good point. 55-60% at 65F-70F is where I average. |
