Recording in a car with DPA Microphones 4018/4097 and The Windkiller SE

We recently created some special edition wind protection for DPA Microphones 4018G and 4097/4099 models. In this video Caleb puts the new Windkiller SE through some tests, recording dialogue in a moving car using the DPA 4018GS and 4097 microphones.

NB: The audio is unedited and due to the principally low frequency issues that wind can create for microphones, this is best listened to with a decent pair of over-ear headphones or on reference monitors with a suitable frequency range. A lot of the interesting action occurs below 200-300Hz. We noticed around a 10dB reduction in wind gust noise in this region, even though this was a test done in 'real life' settings. ie: no controlled environment.
