FAQs
What types of lavalier microphones does this kit fit?
The kit is designed to fit most lavalier microphones with a 4mm capsule diameter, including popular models such as the Deity WLP, RODE Lavalier GO, and Sanken COS11D.
How do I use the adhesive disks?
The disposable adhesive disks are used to create a seal around the lavalier microphone head, often in conjunction with the faux fur cuts. Apply the disk to the mounting surface, then place the microphone head onto it, pressing firmly.
Can I use the faux fur and foam windscreen together?
Yes, you can layer the faux fur over the foam windscreen (especially those with gaskets) for maximum wind protection in challenging conditions.
Are the "fluff balls" reusable?
Yes, the "fluff balls" are designed for repeated use. Gently brush them if they become matted.
What is the purpose of the rubber gaskets on the foam windscreens?
The rubber gaskets help to create a snug fit around the lavalier microphone capsule, preventing the foam windscreen from slipping off during use.
Is the carrying case waterproof?
The carrying case is described as "weather-sealed," meaning it protects against light rain and moisture, but it is not intended for submersion in water.
How many tie clips are included?
The kit includes two microphone tie clips for securing the lavalier cable.
Troubleshooting
Wind noise is still present
Ensure the largest available wind protection accessory is properly fitted. For significant wind, consider adding a "fluff ball" or repositioning the microphone away from direct wind paths.
Foam windscreen slips off
Verify that the rubber gasket is correctly seated and creating a tight seal around the microphone capsule. Ensure the capsule is clean and dry before attaching.
Adhesive disk not sticking well
Make sure the mounting surface (clothing or skin) is clean, dry, and free of oils or lint. Press firmly for at least 30 seconds.
Carrying case latch is difficult to close
Check for any obstructions in the latch mechanism or case seal. Ensure components are neatly arranged inside to avoid pressure on the lid.
