The school I work at is asking for some help with their stadium sound system. The equipment is stored in a pressbox, and in Phoenix likely gets to up 175+ degrees F. in the summer, including the start of football season. During games the booth is air conditioned.
I know we don't want to operate the equipment in the heat, but how damaging is it to store it there when it's off? I realize it's not idea, but funding is tight and I'm working with them to come up with a solution that doesn't involve rewiring the stadium. The mixer, wireless receivers, mics, CD player and other FOH equipment would be stored in the pressbox, while amplifiers remain in another room that is climate controlled.
I'm drawing a little bit of a blank wondering how the electronics hold up when off and in the heat.
