Thanks, that page says "Silences 10dB+ of wind noise". Is that comperable t=

The PCM-M50's mics look far more exposed and vulnerable to wind than the M1=

Hi... I have a Sony PCM-D50 and wind noise is a problem (for the=0D
built in mics) in the slightest breeze. A windscreen is an absolute=0D
necessity outdoors. I bought one from Micover and I've been pleased=0D
with it. It works well and is well-made. Here is the relevant link:=0D
