Michael,

Klas has answered this - wind "blocking off" the recording which can't
be repaired. I'm referring to a roll-off rather than a bass cut, so
the bass is still there. My SQN mixer roll-off is approximately 6dB
per octave which I put back if needed with a inverse 6dB bass lift,
but under controlled circumstances.

Any directional mic is more susceptible to LF wind noise, and the more
directional the mic, the more likely the wind problem.
