[UK-CONTEST] Heil Headset

[Jim Martin]

I have noticed that my DX insert Heil mic is very noisy.  It is catching all
the S sounds and my breathing through the mic.  My normal mic position is
about 1 and 1/2 inches from my mouth.
I have turned down the gain to almost no ALC showing and it is still poor
quality.  There is only a very thin strip of grey foam back and front of the
insert. Is this normal?  I feel I want to wrap a bundle of foam round the
mic to act as a wind shield!
It is better, but not perfect, on the Mk5 but very poor in the IC746.
Any comments appreciated
Jim
