FAQs
What is the primary purpose of URSA Fur Circles?
Their primary purpose is to reduce or eliminate wind noise and rustling sounds that can interfere with audio recordings, particularly from microphones.
Are the adhesives safe for skin?
Yes, the URSA Fur Circles come with hypoallergenic stickers specifically designed to be safe for skin and leave no residue.
Can these be used on larger microphones?
They are primarily designed for smaller microphones like lavaliers. While they might fit other small devices, their effectiveness on larger microphones is not guaranteed.
How do I store them when not in use?
Store them in a clean, dry environment to maintain their condition and the adhesive's tackiness.
Do they come in different colors?
This specific product is the Black variant. URSA Straps may offer other color options for their products.
Will the fur circle affect the microphone's sound quality?
When properly applied, they are designed to minimize wind noise without significantly degrading the desired audio signal. The precise cutting method aims for optimal acoustic transparency.
Troubleshooting
Fur circle not adhering well
Ensure the microphone or equipment surface is clean, dry, and free of oils before applying the hypoallergenic sticker. Use a fresh sticker.
Noise reduction is not as effective as expected
Verify the fur circle is positioned correctly over the microphone capsule to best capture and diffuse wind. Ensure the fur is not matted.
Skin irritation from adhesive
Discontinue use and consult the product packaging for alternative application methods or consider a different adhesive if irritation persists. The included stickers are hypoallergenic, but individual sensitivities can vary.
