That will certainly cut some wind rumble but at the cost of reduced
high frequency response & overall sensitivity. Wind shields are by
necessity acoustically transparent & work best with a dead air space
between the shield & the mic. A thick sock is sort of the opposite
direction you want to be going. Schoeps make several wind screens
which are essentially silk pantyhose material wrapped around a
framework which creates a dead air space around the capsule. You could
try some different thicknesses of socks, but listen carefully to how
drastically the highs are lost & how the sensitivity drops off. Maybe
you can live with it & you'll certainly save some money.
