John In Brum Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hi folks A little light entertainment for you;- I was recently involved in doing sound reinforcement for an outdoor show in Spain.This is an annual event that I do for friends. I took over a pair of rifle mics, as I was advised that some general miking of the stage would be needed.I completely forgot this was an outdoor event. During rehearsals it suddenly became somewhat windy and this played havoc with the mics.(In my defence I am sure that in the past there had not been wind at this time of year.) I asked if anyone had any fake fur. Not common in this heat. :(However after a rummage through their wardrobe dept I spotted a box of wigs. So a couple of wigs wrapped around the trusty AKG 568s and voila! http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j396/JohnAfloat/Windshield_zpsvmdikjrr.jpg You never need to be caught short for a windshield again!!!
