Wind sock/muff help please
Hi all,
I have a small Sony electret condenser stereo mic ( ECM-DS70P ) which I use with my MD recorder. Its fine except its sensivity to even slight wind when recording outdoors, so I want to make my own 'windsock' or 'muff' (not sure exactly what they're called) So what should I use? I doubt if I can buy one off the shelf for such a small mic and if I could, its likely to be overly expensive. Would something fashioned from fluffy lambs wool do? TIA, Mark Kelepouris. |

A friend just made a windsock himself that was an imitation of the
Rycote "softie" style windscreen. He got a piece of long-haired synthetic fur from a fabric store, and sewed it over a big foam windscreen. This sort of thing will help for wind made when movin the mic, or a light breeze outdoors. For any real wind you'll have to protect the whole mic and the connector. Go look at the pictures on Rycote's and Lightwaves sites, and experiment. I once made a very effective windcreen (although heavy) out of wire mesh, muslin and acoustifoam in layers. The main goal is the creation of a dead air zone around the whole mic. Philip Perkins |

Try: www.trewaudio.com. Look for the microcat line of windsocks. The "Microcats" really are the only kind of "muff" windscreen for really small mics that works I have found. Trying to kill wind noise on a non-omni lavalier mic outside in a breeze is very difficult, beleive me. The guys on the movie production group suggested them, and Trew was kind enough to send a demo. They were about $45, and they should fit your Sony stereo mic if it's a mini mic like the one I have for my old Sony D6.
