21cm Long Foam Sponge Windscreen Shotgun Cover for Microphone

Product Information

These super-cardioid shotgun microphones follow on from the popularity of the NTG-1 and NTG-2 shotgun microphones. With added functionality such as digital switching for high pass (flat/75Hz), high frequency boost, and level control (-10dB pad), the NTG-4 and NTG-4+ can be easily operated when on a boom or are mounted on a camera. A wide frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz and low noise circuitry gives the user a more rounded and accurate sound. NPR audio engineers tested the sound quality of these mic protection methods. If an engineer can fix your tape before it goes on-air, that’s ideal. Also engineer-approved are the cleaning and sanitization methods detailed below. Roll the condom or probe cover onto your mic. Try to cover as much of the mic as possible. The shotgun with small foam windscreen and condom is very susceptible to wind noise, but is suitable for indoor use. Cleaning your gear

Baskets/Blimps:You’ll also come across the terms baskets or blimps, which are essentially made of mesh material with a thin inner foam layer that covers the entire microphone like a pill but provides an open-air chamber between it and the microphone. When you’re deciding whether to use a windscreen vs pop filter, consider the situation first and foremost.

As the name suggests, they minimize wind and outdoor ambience from ruining the recording. Microphone windscreens are a kind of microphone cover that envelopes it, such as with a shotgun mic, and are made out of foam or faux fur. Wind protection for microphones basically shield the device from capturing disruptive noise, but they come in many different forms and sizes. We divide them into two basic categories: Windscreens: If your recording is unaffected by wind or extraneous noise, then you don’t necessarily “need” a microphone windscreen. It’s usually best to be prepared, though. At the very least, keep a microphone windscreen in your kit should conditions change.Wipe down everything with the appropriate cleaning solution; see below under “Sanitizing your gear.” Pay extra attention to the mics and anything else that’s been close to another person. Use a disinfectant wipe to clean the mic barrier between interviews. Pay special attention to any folds in the plastic or latex. We get this question all the time: “Are pop filters really necessary? Do I actually need a windscreen for a decent recording?” The honest answer is, “It depends.” Windscreens: Windscreens should be cleaned in a mild solution of warm water and dish soap. This can be done in a sink or inside a plastic bag. WARNING: Drying the large fuzzy windscreens takes a very long time and is best done overnight.
