In order to minimise the noise effects produced by the wind you
can use the PVM-05 windscreen (see figure).
You may complete the measuring
equipment with the
model TK1000 outdoor kit,
designed to protect the preamplifier
+ microphone set from moderate
wind and rain, birds, insects, damp
and so forth. The
TK1000
has a
windscreen, umbrella grille, bird
spike and dehumidifier.
