Introducing the Modulear Windshield WS 4 Kit
The Modulear Windshield WS 4 Kit is a premium, all‑in‑one solution designed to deliver exceptional wind protection and acoustic performance for professional microphones. Whether you’re recording on set, in the studio, or outdoors, this kit provides a versatile, modular system that adapts seamlessly to a wide range of shotgun mics and other directional audio capture devices.
Core Components
- Windshield #4 (WS 4): A robust, high‑density foam shield engineered to block wind noise while preserving the integrity of the microphone’s signal. The foam is carefully calibrated to reduce flutter and turbulence without introducing coloration.
- Windjammer #4 (WJ 4): An outer shell that further attenuates wind interference, especially in high‑velocity environments. It works in tandem with the WS 4 to create a layered defense against airborne noise.
- Medium Modular Suspension Mount: A lightweight yet sturdy mounting system that securely attaches the shield and windjammer to the microphone housing. The suspension is adjustable, allowing for fine‑tuning of the shield’s position relative to the mic capsule.
- Original Packaging Box: Designed with durability in mind, the box protects all components during transport and storage while providing easy access for quick setup.
Material Excellence
The kit utilizes a combination of premium materials to ensure longevity and performance:
- High‑density foam for the WS 4, engineered with a closed‑cell structure that resists moisture absorption.
- Polyurethane shell for the WJ 4, offering impact resistance and a smooth finish to minimize surface reflections.
- Aluminum alloy frame in the suspension mount, providing strength without excessive weight.
Compatibility & Versatility
The Modulear Windshield WS 4 Kit is engineered to fit a broad spectrum of shotgun microphones. Its modular design allows for easy adaptation to:
- Rode NTG3 Shotgun Microphone
- Other high‑end directional mics commonly used in film, television, and broadcast production.
- Custom rigs where the user may need to integrate additional accessories such as boom poles or camera mounts.
Because of its modular nature, the kit can be disassembled for transport or reconfigured on set to accommodate changing shooting conditions.
Installation Guide
- Attach the WS 4 to the microphone’s mounting ring using the provided screws. Ensure a snug fit without overtightening, which could damage the foam.
- Secure the WJ 4 over the shield, aligning it with the suspension mount. The windjammer should sit flush against the outer edge of the WS 4.
- Fasten the Medium Modular Suspension Mount to the microphone housing. Adjust the tension so that the shield remains centered and stable during movement.
- Check alignment by pointing the mic toward a sound source; the windjammer should not obstruct the pickup pattern.
Performance Benefits
- Superior Wind Noise Reduction: The dual‑layer system cuts down on wind hiss and turbulence, delivering cleaner audio capture even in gusty conditions.
- Minimal Acoustic Coloration: The foam’s density is calibrated to preserve the mic’s natural frequency response, ensuring that vocals and instruments remain true to life.
- Durability Under Harsh Conditions: Materials are chosen for resistance to abrasion, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, making the kit reliable on location shoots.
- Lightweight Design: The overall weight of the kit is kept low to avoid adding strain to boom poles or handheld rigs.
Maintenance & Care Instructions
To keep your Modulear Windshield WS 4 Kit in optimal condition, follow these simple steps:
- Clean the foam and windjammer with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions that could degrade the materials.
after each use; replace any component showing signs of damage to maintain performance. when not in use, ensuring that the windjammer and shield are protected from dust and impact.
