| + | When broadcasting outdoors (or even indoors in larger rooms subject to rising drafts), your microphones will pick up the sound of wind passing by and running over their edged surfaces as a low frequency rumble, this can be highly annoying and can making it impossible to hear the intended content. To combat this, windshields are used. They can be several times larger than the microphone and if they are 'hairy' will often be termed 'dead cats/kittens' depending on their size due to their fluffy nature and habit of being attacked by birds when walking in the open. |
