Jason Nightall Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Would there be any issue with using a small microphone in a larger windshield. For example putting an MKH50 in a Rycote WS4 windshield which is designed for shotguns? Obviously the microphone will be further from the front of the windshield than the sides so would this have any negative effect from an acoustics point of view?

Throwback Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 From a purely wind-noise reduction perspective the further the mic is from the edge of a windshield the better. So if you can live with any handling/mic placement issues of a small mic in a larger windshield, then that's fine. Don't just take my word for it though: Chris Woolf (for so many years at Rycote) says the same (https://microphone-data.com/media/filestore/articles/Wind and vibration-10.pdf)!
