I don't have anything against pressboard, except that a serious paper
gave only those details about the mic he was basing all his conclusions
on. The polar pattern was so different from that of normal boundary mics
I'd really like to know how he did it.
The less regular surface of pressboard might give a different character
to a properly mounted capsule compared to the smoother surface of plastic.

Better than ebay, make your own windshield for $5! I can email a picture of
my homemade windshield for a ME67 mic, if anyone is interested. It works
just as well as a bought one.

I know some people do use sealed headphones, but personally I can't stand
them! I use open-air headphones with no feedback problems. In the field I
can also hear what is happening in reality, as well as what I'm recording.
If I need a directional cue I simply turn back the headphone volume to 0
(which doesn't affect the recording level), then I can hear what else is
happening around me.
