Dave,
This is really great info. I will send this on to the place I get my equipment
and they can show the Rycote and Sennheiser guys what we are looking for. I
don't know why the Rycote rep does not know about these items.
The Sennheiser rig looks like what was my other option. There would be not as
much volume inside the zeppelin with the Sennheiser so the results may not be
as good as the larger diametre Rycote. Have you compared the results between
the Rycote and Sennheiser?
Thanks again!
Jason
