Depending on the construction, the things that normally suffers in high humidity areas are the speaker cones. I have installed ceiling speaker with polyprop waterproof cones and a duet / amp system in the loftspace to keep everything away from the water. The charger for the controller is in the bedroom, again away from the water.
Although I have been negative about the stability of the controller, I cant say the same about its ability to swim. My wife has dropped it in the bath twice now, and given a day to dry out it still works OK. There are very specific regulations in Europe (and probably the US) about which electrical devices can taken or installed into a bathroom from a safety perspective. As a general rule, unless the device has been specifically designed for bathroom use, then dont do it. Damp hands and damp feet provide a very good path for fault current. Even if you keep the mains adaptor out of the damp area (eg wallmounting a touch in the bathroom with a remote psu), you are still relying on whatever insulation exists in the mains adaptor to keep you from wearing wings and playing a harp. Battery operation is by far the safest. -- Andy8421 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andy8421's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16846 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67790 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
