Rycote Mini Windjammer - Grey

Its primary benefit is significantly reducing unwanted wind noise during outdoor recordings, allowing for clearer audio capture with minimal impact on high-frequency sound quality.

This specific Mini Windjammer is made to fit the Tascam DR-40 portable digital recorder.

While it might fit recorders with very similar dimensions, it's specifically optimized for the Tascam DR-40. For other models, Rycote offers a range of different Mini Windjammers.

You can expect up to 10 dB of wind noise reduction, which is substantial for improving outdoor recordings.

It is designed to be sound-transparent, meaning it minimizes high-frequency loss. While some minimal attenuation is unavoidable with any wind protection, Rycote's professional fur material aims to preserve audio fidelity.

Gently brush the fur to remove loose debris. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth for spot cleaning and allow it to air dry completely.

No, it features an easy slip-on design for quick attachment and removal.

Ensure you are using it with the Tascam DR-40. If it's too loose, double-check that no debris is preventing a full fit, or that you haven't acquired a model designed for a different recorder.

Ensure the fur is clean and free of debris or matting. Gently brush the fur. Verify that the windjammer is correctly positioned and not pressing directly against the microphone capsules in a way that dampens sound.

Use a soft brush to gently comb through the fur. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth for spot cleaning and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
