Putting the products into operation
Using the windshield In order to avoid annoying wind noise during recording, we recommend using
a suitable windshield.
The MKE 2 is supplied with a metal windshield and a fur windshield. To begin
with, use the metal windshield which reduces wind noise by up to 20 dB. With
the additional fur windshield, you can reduce wind noise by a further 10 dB.
The fur windshield can only be used together with the metal windshield.
To use the metal windshield:
왘 Slip the metal windshield onto the microphone capsule of the MKE 2.
The microphone is ready for operation and can be attached to clothing by
means of the supplied microphone clip (see page 18).
To use the fur windshield:
왘 If you are already using the metal windshield or one of the frequency
response caps, remove them from the microphone capsule.
왘 Stretch open the retaining loop of the fur windshield by moving the sleeve
towards the fur.
Make sure you do not accidentally remove the sleeve from the retaining
loop.
왘 Pass the microphone through the retaining loop of the fur windshield.
The retaining loop now fits loosely around the connection cable of the
MKE 2.
왘 Slip the metal windshield onto the microphone capsule.
왘 Carefully stretch the opening of the fur windshield and slide it over the
metal windshield. Make sure that the fur windshield completely covers the
metal windshield.
왘 Use the sleeve to tighten the retaining loop around the connection cable.
The retaining loop ensures that the fur windshield is securely attached to
the clip-on microphones.
