Cooler is always better (well, as long as it is above
the dew point).  My recollection is that Ceton specified(*)
something like 65C as the limit, so in theory you
should be fine at 50C, but cooler is better.

When you say some recordings, is there any
consistency in the channels?  Or the time of day
when the problems occur?  Or when it rains (yes,
cable should be immune, but the "closed system"
sometimes has leakage (water, and RF).




(*) That was a long time ago.  They may have revised
their numbers since then, and given that there is only
one temp reported, other parts of the device could be
hotter.
