I've found that the fabric itself for the fake fur that I use is thick / st=
urdy enough to provide enough structure.=C2=A0 And the business end of my m=
ics (avenson sto-2) small enough to help towards that end.=C2=A0 In combina=
tion with some velcro cord ties to build up a support disc (and block rearw=
ard wind), quite helpful.=C2=A0 But it's not quite wind proof since my fake=
fur is only 1/2" in length per layer.=C2=A0 And there's some high end loss=
.=C2=A0 I seem to be loosing about 3.5db on the high end as a consequence o=
f my old, but similar setup.=C2=A0 Probably closer to 2.5dB on my current o=
ne.=C2=A0 I've stitched together a nyquist plugin to help with the EQ part =
in audacity.=C2=A0 Controls are how much dB to add to the upper end.=C2=A0 =
And a value to taper down per band(currently 22 bands).=C2=A0 0.8 is 80% th=
e previous bands value going highest kHz to lowest Hz.
