Yes - at least you'll have a safety margin,

Of course, if you have a fallback that will work,
nothing should stop you from trying the condenser
mic to see how it performs in those conditions.
If you're lucky (which depends on circumstances)
it will do the job, but you could be less lucky
next time - it's IHMO not something you can count
on.
