Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use a windscreen on a ball-head microphone during live performances?
Use a windscreen whenever your microphone is exposed to wind, breath, or plosive sounds from performers. The W 32 is essential for outdoor concerts, live streaming, and close-mic vocal applications.
What is the difference between wind noise and plosive interference, and how does the W 32 prevent both?
Wind and air movement cause rumbling low-frequency noise, while plosives (hard consonants like P and B) create sharp pops. The foam windscreen absorbs both by adding distance and acoustic dampening between the microphone capsule and sound source.
How does the W 32 fit on an 18–20 mm diameter microphone capsule?
The windscreen is engineered to slide snugly over ball-head capsules within this diameter range. For custom fit details, contact Procure.ae.
Will using a windscreen affect the microphone's frequency response or clarity?
The foam design minimizes acoustic coloration, preserving natural frequency response and vocal clarity while reducing unwanted wind and pop noise.
Is the W 32 suitable for both studio recordings and live outdoor events?
Yes, while the W 32 excels in outdoor and live environments, it is also useful in studios with air conditioning or ventilation systems that cause unwanted low-frequency rumble.
