hello list,

anyone that uses rycote windjammer can teach me how set up  'furry
cat' the mics inside the windshield, to avoid that the rode rouches
the structure? I was recording in the Wind, yes, the rycote with the
windjammer atenutes a lot, but seems some problems velow 300 hz, when
the Wind raises 20 mph.
Any tip will much apreciated. thanks,
Juan.

Hi Juan Pablo,

>From what you described I understand that you are trying to use a Rode dead=
cat to cover a mic that's already inside a Rycote blimp. Is that right? If =
that's the case, David already answered the queston.

But if you're using a Rycote softy, the problem with high winds is that it =
doesn't produce as good results as a blimp-type windshield (not even close)=
 because: 1) it doesn't have an air cushion between the shield and the mic;=
 2) it has a smaller profile -- David explained that; 3) it doesn't cover t=
he whole mic. In this case -- or in the previous one -- a dead cat won't do=
 any good, unless you use it to cover the parts that are left exposed by a =
Rycote softy (the rear end of the mic, the plug and cable).
