Selecting & Fitting Wind Shields
26
A premium pop shield and wind shield is provided with the Stereo
VideoMic X for the ultimate in wind protection for all situations.
Pop shield:
The pop shield is designed to protect the Stereo VideoMic X
capsules from very light air movement such as a gentle breeze,
and has been designed to be acoustically transparent, whilst
still providing wind protection. It is also useful for protecting the
microphone from the noise caused by fast camera movements, like
tracking or dolly shots.
To fit or remove the pop shield, simply squeeze it on the sides
(labelled with the RODE logo) to allow it to fit over the microphone
capsules.
Wind shield:
The wind shield is designed to protect the Stereo VideoMic X
capsules from light breezes to heavy wind, and is recommended
for use in all outdoor shooting situations, where wind gusts can
often be unexpected and unpredictable. The wind shield is made
from a high quality synthetic fur mounted on a low-density foam,
with a rubber lip that provides a tight seal around the microphone
body. Although the wind shield is designed to be as acoustically
transparent as possible, we recommend engaging the high
frequency boost feature on the Stereo VideoMic X to combat the
slight loss of high frequency detail experienced when covering any
microphone capsule.
In very strong wind the combination of wind shield, high
boost and high-pass filter can be used to best effect.
