Thanks to Rob and John for the windscreen suggestions. As a shell, for
the windscreen, I'd thought about GoreTex or even Tyvek, but the ripstop
idea seems good. The siliconized nylon might be good too as the
silicone would make water bead up. It wouldn't be UV stable, but
nothing that I've talked about so far is. As mentioned, I don't need to
protect the mic, but I need some kind of replaceable barrier to keep the
windscreen from becoming saturated. Have you guys experimented with
this in terms of audio noise from raindrops? The hogshair cover would
help with this and would also shield this membrane from UV, but does it
hold water? Colin, if you're following this, did you ever put together
your system after your November posts? How is it performing? I have
wondered if one could saturate this in a silicone oil to make it more
water repellent.
On these all-too-rare occasions of enlightenment, I stop tinkering to
see what I can learn from others. But I'm ready to scrounge up some
materials and try some things.
Regards, Robb
