Two Layers of Wind Protection
The DPA AIR1 Fur Windscreen offers two layers of protection. The first layer of protection is a newly-designed acoustic fur. The synthetic hair type, length and density makes the windscreen significantly smaller than most, without sacrificing wind rejection effectiveness.
The second layer of protection is the air cavity created in front of the microphone. Two sturdy arches keep the fur spaced away from the mic and maintain constant air volume. In addition, there is a mic stop to ensure that the microphone holds its position at the most protected point inside the windscreen – the acoustic sweet spot.
Easy to Mount
The DPA AIR1 was designed for quick and easy mounting, even in difficult weather situations.
The hard plastic construction is robust with handles that are strong and easy to use, from the first to the last time. Thus, ensuring it is properly positioned and securely fixed in the acoustic sweet spot. Inserting the microphone into the windscreen is quick and easy because of its large opening, strong clasp, and mic stop.
No sacrificing intelligibility for protection
With consistent positioning and efficient wind protection taken care of, acoustical transparency can be achieved. Due to its nature, all acoustic fur attenuates certain frequencies. AIR1 has a built-in boundary surface that boots the frequencies attenuated so that the audio captured is completely intelligible and sounds as if no wind protection is being used (minus that troublesome wind noise of course).
