Well we got a full snowstorm going here.
It gave me a chance to test my windfilters in full 30+ mph wind gusts.
Attached file is two opposing windfilters with me-62's separated
about 8" and about 3' off the ground so the mic stand would not blow
over. Hard snow, strong winds, recorded in the open. Police car at
about 1 mile, geese at about 1/4 mile, both upwind of the mics. I am
happy with the results.

What I do for my balanced to unbalanced cables is to keep the wires
separate on the XLR end. I only short pins 1 and 3 on the 3.5 mm
end. This gives a slight noise reduction advantage. I also use
stereo low-profile cable and double wire to also give a slightly
better noise advantage. I also have some cables that are stereo cable
to the MD and then 2 cables comming out of the first xlr spliting to
the second xlr. Let me know if you want photos and diagrams.
