Windscreen

There are different types of devises available to protect the microphone system from wind, rain, snow, dust or other environmental influences. A microphone windscreen is a useful device for reducing the noise created around the microphone in windy conditions. The windscreen is also useful for protecting the microphone from mechanical impacts.

Wind screens are available in different sizes and are usually made from reticulated foam with different pore sizes. Therefore each type of windscreen will have a different influence on the frequency response of the microphone system. In addition, this influence will vary over time if the windscreen gets polluted or wet, or simply is old. Keep your windscreens in good conditions, or replace them with new ones.

The spectrum of the Nor150 can be compensated for the typical influence of the windscreen type Nor1451. When the windscreen correction is applied, a “W” is displayed in the measurement picture status bar at the top of the display. (Link to "Windscreen correction" in "Compensation" menu.)
