No, the Rycote Tascam DR-40 Audio Kit is specifically designed and tailored for the Tascam DR-40 digital recorder only. Its windshield and suspension components are shaped to fit this particular device.
The kit is highly effective at reducing wind noise for typical outdoor recording conditions. The specialized Mini Windjammer significantly minimizes 'wind rush' sounds, allowing for clearer dialogue and audio capture.
Yes, the suspension system is designed to be compatible with standard microphone stands and boom arms, allowing for versatile placement away from the operator.
The extension handle provides a more comfortable grip for handheld recording and includes an eyelet specifically for managing headphone cords, preventing them from touching the recorder and causing unwanted noise.
Gently brush off loose debris with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely before reattaching to the recorder.
No, the kit includes the windshield, suspension system, hot shoe mount, and extension handle. The Tascam DR-40 digital recorder must be purchased separately.
Yes, the kit includes a hot shoe mount adapter that allows you to attach the entire Tascam DR-40 setup directly to the hot shoe of a camera or camcorder.
Ensure the Mini Windjammer is securely and completely covering the microphone capsules. Check for any gaps or loose fitting. For very high winds, consider supplementary wind protection.
Verify that the recorder is properly seated within the suspension system and that the suspension bands are intact and providing isolation. Ensure the handle and mount are firmly attached.
Re-adjust the recorder within the suspension system, ensuring it is held firmly by the elastic bands. Check that all connecting parts (mount, handle) are securely tightened.
Tighten the connection point where the suspension system attaches to the extension handle. Ensure the recorder assembly is also securely fastened to the handle.
