Rich, I have visited the Rycote factory - what they do can be done by
anyone, except the classy outlook, the long-time reliability and the
versatility, fitting all mic's.
With normal hearing you can detect if the material absorbs any sound: Let
water run from you kitchen tap and put the material in between the sound
and you head. If you don't hear any difference, - with or without it - use=
it. (Or use white noise for the test if you have it.)
