Engineering Assistance Required in The Equipment Aisle

Steve Green NEPA

Steve Green NEPA

I'm building a sound studio in an attic. It'll be good. It'll make you folks proud.

PC towers are here, monitors, mixing boards, mice, a stray Ramsey FM transmitter, assorted microphones and speakers, a cat litter box, Realistic mixers and cassette decks, reel-to-reel tapes, and a few nice radios ......

Within what temperature range am I expected to enjoy my radio self here in my new asylum, with my hobbies, without growing new white hairs, please?
 
The equipment probably has a lot less tolerance to temperature extremes than you do. Air conditioning has to work overtime in most radio rooms / sound studios, because the equipment can pump out a lot of heat. Heating in winter isn't as difficult, because the equipment is a source of heat.

A lot of equipment is designed as cheaply as possible inside, with heatsinks and power rating marginal. At room temperature it will last for years, but elevate the temperature and the life deteriorates exponentially.
