Troubleshooting

Windjammer doesn't fit securely

Ensure you are using the correct Rycote Mini Windjammer model for your specific Zoom H2 recorder. Gently adjust the fit to ensure it's snug around the microphone capsule.

Audio still sounds noisy

While the windjammer reduces wind noise, it does not eliminate all background noise. Ensure the windjammer is fully covering the microphones and check for any potential obstructions or damage to the fur.

Fur appears matted or dirty

Gently brush the fur with a soft brush. If necessary, lightly dampen a cloth and gently wipe the fur, then allow it to air dry completely. Avoid pulling or excessively handling the fur.

Setup:

The Rycote Mini Windjammer is designed for a simple, slip-on application. Align the opening of the windjammer with the microphone area of your Zoom H2 portable recorder and gently slide it on until it fits snugly. Ensure it covers the microphones completely without obstructing any controls or ports.

Care:

To maintain the performance and longevity of your windjammer:

Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dust or debris with a soft brush. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
