I HAVE HAD GOOD RESLTS CUTING FOME WITH ELECTRIK CARVING KNIFE and stitching to gether the end¡¯s with fine sowing thread and then turning the fome tube incideout???? ??This teck-neek is good to make a wind sock to fit over the out cede of the mick ?and is cost effive and doesn¡¯t need to be soaked with water ????
PS foam cut this way makes the building of microphone transporting boxes easy? kind regards Stephen Muir-Field ?
The foam besides dimensions has the following characteristics: - density - size of cell - % open cell - Young¡¯s modulus of the foam - Young¡¯s modulus of the material - acoustical Q-factor
If you match all of the above you _may_ recover the original acoustic properties of the mic. If not, then adding any foam is as good or worse than leaving it without any foam at all.?
Hint: open-cell foam is best cut with razor-sharp blade ?when the foam is fully soaked with water or, better yet, fully submerged in it.?
