Yes Dana, that is the materiel but contrary to what they say on the web
page, it does repel the water away from the mic. Take a look at this other
web page also, they describe exactly as I do...

Rob has some very good links also in his previous post...

It really is remarkable materiel for recording in the rain...

Martyn,

Your link led me to Location Sound's main page, but just a couple of clicks=

away was what I think you were referring to in your last post:

http://www.location <http://www.locationsound.com/proaudio/ls/SHOG0001.html=
>
sound.com/proaudio/ls/SHOG0001.html

It is described as a "rain diffuser" that effectively breaks up rain drops=

so they will not be recorded. It says, however, that it does not keep the
rain out, which makes it sound as if it would be a good choice for
recording until it starts pouring.
