Abstract
An acoustic detector provides a planar arrangement of microphones. A windshield is arranged over the microphones, with a view to reducing the impact of environmental effects. A void is therefore defined over the microphones, and the interior surface of the windshield, which defines the void, is shaped suitably to reduce the potential for acoustic waves propagating within the void to reflect back onto the microphones.
