FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Rycote 055439 Mini Windjammer?

Its main purpose is to significantly reduce wind noise when recording audio outdoors with a Zoom H2n portable recorder, ensuring clearer sound.

Is this Windjammer compatible with other recorders besides the Zoom H2n?

No, the Rycote 055439 is specifically designed for the Zoom H2n. Rycote offers other Mini Windjammer models for different recorders.

How much wind noise reduction can I expect?

You can expect up to 10 dB of wind noise reduction with minimal loss of high-frequency audio detail.

What is the Windjammer made of?

It is made from a high-quality, sound-transparent synthetic fur, similar to the material used on other professional Rycote products.

How do I clean the Mini Windjammer?

Gently brush it with a soft brush to remove dust. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely.

Is it easy to put on and take off?

Yes, it features an easy slip-on design for quick attachment and removal.

Will this affect the sound quality if I use it indoors?

While designed for outdoor wind reduction, it aims for minimal high-frequency loss. However, for the most transparent sound indoors, it's best to remove the Windjammer when wind noise is not a concern.

Troubleshooting

Windjammer does not fit snugly on the Zoom H2n

Ensure you are using the correct Rycote 055439 model, which is specifically designed for the Zoom H2n. Gently adjust the Windjammer as you slide it on to ensure an even fit.

Audio still sounds muffled or has high-frequency loss

Check that the Windjammer is fully covering the microphones and not obstructing them. Ensure the fur is clean and free of excessive debris. If the issue persists, the reduction in high frequencies may be a trade-off for wind noise reduction in very specific acoustic conditions.

Windjammer appears to be affecting sound quality indoors

This Windjammer is optimized for outdoor wind noise reduction. For indoor use where wind is not a factor, it is recommended to remove the Windjammer to ensure the most transparent audio capture.
