Remote help needed

[sportsvoice]

Wind noise is driving us crazy when doing high school baseball and softball in the spring. Since most fields don't have boxes, we set up under a 10x10 portable tent behind the backstop.

I need something a bit more effective than the stock windscreens on our Sennheiser HMD25 headsets, as well as something that fits the Beyer DT290s in our other kit. Anyone know of larger windscreens that fit those? I've seen some TV games where they've replaced the stock Sennheiser windscreens on the end of the boom with something larger.

I also use a shotgun mic behind the backstop to fill in sound from bat on ball, ball hitting the catcher's mitt, and the umpire's call. I guess for that mic I need to hunt down one of those big fuzzy blimp things.

You may be a bit uncomfortable ordering it for the first time, but the "Mic Muff" series is pretty damn good.

You can even stick small eyes on it and pretend it's a little cat.

Thanks for the link. I kept finding shotgun mic blimps that cost $100 or more when I was looking.

The resemblance to a deceased longhair cat is striking.
