21cm Long Foam Sponge Windscreen Shotgun Cover for Microphone

Product Information

Its narrow pick up angle allows a shotgun mic to be located somewhat farther from the source than a conventional mic. However, the drawback is that it makes particularly low vocals sound less accurate, relative to a neutral bass response. The PG2-R has dual Rycote Lyre elastic suspension mounts that holds the microphone in isolation from the grip.

You may remember that there are much thinner supercardioid (shotgun) and unidirectional microphones, and you would certainly also need a windscreen for these if you’re going to be recording outdoors. Not only is it impossible to hold a mic perfectly still, you will have scenes that require you to move while recording (following moving scenes/subject spotlight).With all these filter options, rest assured you’re great sound quality, even when using your camera’s built-in mic preamps. It may not be cheap, but it’s definitely a worthy investment for those who are graduating from their camera’s built-in microphone. None of this is helped by the fact that the AT897 also has a slightly higher noise floor than most professional shotgun microphones. When fitted to the Blimp windshield, above, the combination allows the use of shotgun microphones such as the Rode NTG8, with a barrel length of up to 600mm as opposed to 325mm with the stand alone Blimp.

Most shotgun mics have a supercardioid polar pattern, which captures sounds from the front and back, while rejecting noise from the side. TM-200SG is a shotgun condenser microphone with highly directional polar pattern ideal for video shooting or reporting. For added noise protection, the included VideoMic Pro+ itself has a specialized Rycote Lyre suspension system.Fortunately, this can be corrected in post, though it’s a bit of a hassle to deal with during production. An integrated shockmount system helps eliminate vibrations—whether mounted on-camera or on a boompole using the microphone’s ⅜” thread. You might know them better as microphone windscreens or pop filters, although these terms describe two different types of products.

It can also work with built-in mics on portable cameras, as well as on external camera mics and handheld reporter mics. Both the acoustic foam and synthetic fur are made from materials which are specially designed and manufactured for the purpose, and as a result up to 25 dB of wind-noise reduction without any adverse effect on High-Frequency. While it looks like most mic blimps, the Rode Blimp has a special characteristic: it also serves as a shock mount accessory to reduce the noise associated with mic handling. The Blimp Windshield and Rycote Shock Mount Suspension System from Rode is an all-in-one package designed to provide your shotgun microphone with protection from wind noise and isolation from shock and vibration.Most mics are between 19-22 mm in diameter and will fit into most deadcats, but it’s best to confirm this before purchasing. The SGM-430 is designed for video and stage production use due to its narrow acceptance angle, which is desirable for distant audio pick-up. This professional video and filmmaking audio set allows the use of AA batteries, aside from phantom power. It is like building a sonic tunnel the sound is being pulled through toward the mic, protecting it from all the other unwanted noises so it doesn’t get lost in the din.
