Can anyone recommend a windshield for the ECM-XM1 Microphone on the NX5U.

My mesurements show it's about 4.25" x 13/16" (108 mm x 21 mm).

So far the only one I've found near the correct size is the Rycote Smoothie Medium Hole Windshield for Shotgun and Condenser Microphones (B&H# RYS10MB, Mfr# 039322).

I prefer one similar to the Rode WS6 Deluxe Windshield, but can't find one the right size (and price).

Victor,

Try this company:

TheWindCutter.com, Professional Microphone Windscreens (http://www.thewindcutter.com/shop/)

I've bought 5-6 different windscreens from them. They can make custom stuff (and have for me) if they know the specs. Service has always been impeccable.

P.S. Hope everything's well in Tomball, I coached at the HS there about 15 years ago and still have friends there.

Hi

I found one that works pretty well for relatively little cash, but you need to trim the fluff a bit
