Flush-porting method and device for reduction of wind-induced noise in a microphone

The present invention provides a method (600) and device (400) for minimizing wind-induced noise in a microphone. The device includes: a housing (412) having a recessed area shaped to accommodate a microphone transducer (410); the microphone transducer (410), situated within the recessed area such that a thin film situated over the microphone transducer is flush with/overlaying a top of the recessed area and affixed at least to the sides of the recessed area, for receiving sound; and the thin film (402) has at least one aperture (404, . . . 406) for allowing sound to impinge on the microphone transducer (410), and has a minimal thickness that maintains structural integrity.
