What’s the ideal humidity for different instruments?
- Guitars & basses: 45–55% RH
- Violins & violas: 45–50% RH
- Cellos & upright basses: 45–55% RH
Can I humidify multiple instruments together?
Yes.ClimaCab is built to seal and control RH uniformly across multiple instruments.
Is ClimaCab noisy during use?
No—it runs at < 30 dB using silent semiconductor and micro-evaporation technology (“whisper quiet”).
What’s the energy consumption?
Average power draw is 15 W. Over 30 days, it uses ~10.8 kWh.
Does it smell when new?
There might be a mild “new cabinet” odor due to materials and seals. This dissipates naturally within 2–3 days with gentle ventilation.
Does it produce water mist?
No. The micro-evaporation method prevents visible mist or condensation, so instruments stay dry.
How accurate is the humidity control?
Precision is ±1–2% RH, providing reliable, stable conditions.
Will internal materials react with nitro lacquer?
No. Interiors use inert synthetic fiber and treated steel that do not react with lacquered surfaces.
How often do I need to refill water?
Typically every 2–4 weeks, based on your local RH. ClimaCab alerts you when it's time to refill.
What if power goes out?
ClimaCab is airtight and insulated; it typically holds RH for 6–12 hours without power. For extended outages, a compact UPS is recommended.
How do I verify it's working?
Use the onboard hygrometer and, optionally, place a small digital hygrometer inside to confirm accuracy during monitoring.
What warranty and support are offered?
Includes 5-year limited warranty and lifetime support via email or live chat (Mon–Fri).
Are room humidifiers better than case packs?
Many luthiers caution that in-case packs like "Dampit" or crystals can cause cycles of over/under humidifying that damage seams.
Consistent storage, like with ClimaCab, is safer.
Can I use ultrasonic humidifiers in a guitar room?
Forums report white dust residue and overspray from ultrasonic misters. Evaporative or sealed-system solutions are preferred.
Is a case-level humidifier enough in winter?
Many owners use sponges or Boveda packs in cases; they work short-term, but ClimaCab offers long-term control without daily maintenance.
