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.
