The Windkiller
THE ANSWER TO YOUR WIND PROTECTION PRAYERS...
The Windkiller is our long-haired wind protector that fits shotgun microphones from Audio-Technica, Audix, DPA, JVC, Neumann, Røde, Sanken, Schoeps, Sennheiser, Sony and others – see chart under the photos.
The core of the Windkiller consists of high quality coarse foam with Bubblebee’s carefully chosen soft and fluffy imitation fur on top. This faux-fur is highly durable, works excellent to block the wind and is aesthetically pleasing for the eye.
The Windkiller is also available in a Short-Haired version.
A Note on Windkiller Sizes
It is important that you check the correct size Windkiller suitable for your shotgun or camera-mounted microphone. Please consult our size guide.
Features
- Made for your boom or camera microphone
- Handles medium to heavy wind
- Made from the best imitation fur (high amount of hair pieces per cm2) which allows for optimal wind protection versus frequency transparency.
- Specially designed rubber base for super easy and secure mounting.
- When wet, simply dry it up and shake the fur back into a perfect shape.
- Designed in Denmark by sound lovers, for sound lovers.
The base of The Windkiller is constructed with our specially designed rubber mount that grips unto your microphone while still making it perfectly easy to slide the Windkiller on and off. This creates a firm seal and allows for still air around the capsule to retain as much of the natural frequency response as possible.
The Windkiller comes in eight different sizes, from XS to XL, all with a rubber opening on the buttom that fits shotgun microphones with a diameter of 18-24 mm (0.7”-0.9”).
