Windshield with Rain cover
The ORTF-3D setups are shipped with a fur or
a rain shield installed. The rain shield optimally
dampens the noise of the raindrops hitting
the surface by a thick, open-cell foam layer.
The open-foam design optimally ensures
acoustic transparency.
A rubber layer on the top of the setup avoids
the penetration of water into the windshield.
There are two layers of a black fabric cover below the rain protection around the whole setup
which is treated with hydrophobic spray so that the rain drops roll off the fabric.
Important: The heating of the ORTF-3D setup should be on
all time
to dry out the fabric, but at
least two hours before use. It is recommended to regularly check the wetness of the setup
when installed permanently.

Windshield with Fur
The wind protection of the rain cover is good.
However, the wind protection of the optional
long hair fur is significantly higher.
The fur is included in the shipment. If in an
arena
high wind
, but
no rain
is expected, the
fur should be installed instead of the rain
shield.
Note that the windshield with fur cannot
withstand rain due to the output hole. Note also that wet fur will result in a high attenuation
of high frequencies.
