ABSTRACT:
A shroud and method capable of attenuating undesirable environmental noise from reaching a microphone. The shroud is a cover including a closed end, an open end substantially opposite of the closed end, and an intermediate portion that extends away from the closed end toward the open end. The intermediate portion includes a back side with a mouth opening that faces a user's mouth. The intermediate portion further includes a front side that is substantially opposite of the back side, with the front side being impermeable to airflow. Preferably, the shroud mounts over a windsock that mounts over the microphone. A flexible fastener may be secured to a portion of the open end so that the shroud more snugly mounts around the microphone. As such, the shroud shields a microphone from harsh environmental conditions such as wind and rain.
