Gutmann Microphone Windshield, Windscreen for AEQ PAW120 Digital Recorder

A microphone, whether dynamic or a capacitor type, is helpless at the mercy of any type of air movement that goes beyond the pure sound event (sound waves are also air movements). Train, winds, weather-related wind, but also the draughts that occur when the microphone is swung around can lead to loud bubbling sounds that can ruin a sound recording. Even the breath of a speaker close to the microphone can cause "plop sounds". For indoor shooting, the foam wind shield is usually enough to intercept wind through the movement of the microphone. For outdoor recordings, it should already be a wind protection made of wind protection faux fur that can keep normal wind from the microphone.
