 The Science of
Microphone Windscreens
Capturing professional audio outdoors can be very tricky and requires not only the right knowledge, but the right tools to help you get the job done. Outdoor audio capture will almost always see the utilization of some sort of wind protection for your microphones. There are many factors at play, and these can include the actual environment (nature of the airflow/wind flow), the type of microphone being used and its characteristics, and what the sound engineers/viewers would deem acceptable for use. Outdoor conditions are ultimately very unpredictable, so it's best to be prepared for these types
of situations.

to a lavaliere worn by
the speaker.
