1. Re: water resistant, acoustically transparent fabric

["Peter Shute" pshute2]

A few months ago I came across a document which mentions spraying microphon=
es with "silicon" to waterproof them. There's no detail about what to use o=
r how well it works. They're summary notes from a workshop, and I've been m=
eaning to contact the authors for more details.

The document is at:

Wonderful detailed answer.  Thanks so much.  In fact I have finished the pr=
oject at this point. The microphone is suspended in a PVC tube which is cov=
ered with a Rycote Softie, and stretched over the dish is a think rip-stop =
nylon fabric which will provide some protection, although certainly not abs=
olute.   I have to make this short since we are experiencing what is left o=
f Hurricane Irma here on the coast of Georgia.
