Reducing wind and plosive noise

When to use the foam windscreen and how to position the mic.

Outdoor shoots and hard consonants (“p”, “b”) can cause pops and rumble.

  • Snap the foam windscreen over the mic head outdoors.
  • Position the mic about 15 cm (6 in) below the mouth, pointing up.
  • Speak across the mic rather than directly into it for softer plosives.
