RAIN COVER
Rain cover development
In our experience the best ambience only arrives after more than ten hours of recording. A session that long has to allow for rain, which means protecting the microphone is not optional.
So we developed our own 3D-printed rain cover. Version 5 is out now, in two sizes: 16cm and 10cm in diameter.
FEATURES
What it does
RAIN
Keeps running through sudden rain
When the rain starts, the equipment stays protected and the recording carries on. Nothing waits on the forecast any more, and a recorder can be left running for hours. It also works when the rain itself is what you came for.
MIC
Fits the AMBEO VR Mic and RØDE NT-SF1
It takes two microphones: the Sennheiser AMBEO VR Mic and the RØDE NT-SF1. Each fits exactly with its windscreen on, so nothing about the way you record outdoors has to change.
TAG
Takes a tracker tag
There is a place inside the cover for a tracker tag, so its position can be checked even when nobody is standing next to it — useful on a long unattended session. The tag itself is bought separately.

Ordering a rain cover
The cover can be ordered directly. We also develop covers built around a microphone you already own — ask us for a quote and we will take it from there. Tell us what it is for, which microphone, and when you need it.

The cover exists because of the ambience work we do. Where and how we record — and how to commission a session — is on the ambience recording page.
