Great item, small and working fine with wind.
An essential accessory for audio professionals and enthusiasts alike, the Micro-Cat Lavalier Microphone Windscreen in tan is expertly designed to mitigate wind interference during outdoor recordings. This high-quality windscreen is meticulously handcrafted, featuring a plush outer layer that works in tandem with two inner layers of open-weave fabric. Together, these layers form a formidable barrier against wind, ensuring that your audio capture remains clear and free from the distracting noise that can compromise the integrity of your recordings.
The Micro-Cat is not only effective but also acoustically transparent, meaning it does not color or alter the sound of your microphone. Its thoughtful design includes an elastic opening that can comfortably accommodate most lavalier microphones with diameters of up to 12mm. This versatility makes it a perfect companion for a wide range of lavalier mics, including narrow models such as the Sanken COS-11, which fits snugly within the Micro-Cat when used with its mesh windscreen. Additionally, even the compact Countryman B-6 lavalier microphone can be effectively shielded from wind noise when paired with its foam ball within the Micro-Cat.
While the Micro-Cat excels in outdoor settings, it is specifically optimized for use outside of clothing to minimize the risk of clothing rustle. Its discreet tan coloration blends seamlessly into a variety of environments, ensuring that it remains inconspicuous in shots, whether close-up or at a distance. The windscreen's unobtrusive presence makes it an ideal choice for film, television, and live broadcast applications where visual discretion is paramount.
Included with the Micro-Cat is a miniature standard screwdriver, which serves a dual purpose. Not only does it assist in locating the opening of the windscreen for quick and easy microphone insertion, but it also acts as a convenient anchor, preventing the windscreen from being lost in the hustle and bustle of on-location shoots.
In summary, the Micro-Cat Lavalier Microphone Windscreen in tan is a professionally crafted solution for audio recording in challenging windy conditions. Its triple-layer protection, universal fit, and unnoticeable design make it an indispensable tool for achieving pristine audio quality in any outdoor recording scenario.
