The Tascam WS-11 is an essential accessory for field recordists and videographers who utilize Tascam DR-series handheld recorders in outdoor environments. Its primary benefit is the significant reduction of wind-induced artifacts and high-gust interference, ensuring that your field captures remain clear, professional, and free of low-frequency rumble. While highly effective at noise suppression, users should note that the windscreen adds bulk to the recorder, which may impact storage in tight-fitting equipment bags.

It is compatible with most Tascam DR series handheld recorders with XY or AB microphone configurations. Please check your specific model's mic dimensions.
Yes, it is safe to use indoors, though it is specifically optimized for wind suppression outdoors. It may provide a slight benefit in reducing plosives if recording close-up vocals.
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust and straighten the fibers. Keep away from heat sources and liquids.
Like most fur windscreens, there may be a minor attenuation of extreme high frequencies, which is usually negligible compared to the benefit of eliminating wind noise.
No, the Tascam WS-11 is a standalone accessory; the handheld recorder must be purchased separately.
Ensure the windscreen is fully seated and that there are no gaps between the base of the windscreen and the recorder chassis.
Check that the elastic opening is not stretched or obstructed; readjust the positioning to ensure a tighter grip on the recorder body.
To install, align the opening of the WS-11 with the microphone array of your Tascam DR-series recorder and slide it firmly into place. Ensure the fur is evenly distributed around the capsule to avoid unwanted acoustic shadows. Compatibility includes most Tascam DR handheld recorders featuring integrated XY or AB microphones. To care for your windscreen, gently shake out any dust or debris after outdoor sessions. If it becomes heavily soiled, use a soft brush to groom the synthetic fibers. Do not submerge the unit in water; if it becomes wet due to rain, let it air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storing it.
