How to use

Remove by sliding the windshield off when indoor recording or when wind protection is not required. Store the windshield in a clean, dry place to preserve the foam and fur.

Recommendations

For best results in strong wind, position the microphone so the capsule faces away from the prevailing wind direction in addition to using the WS9-P. Avoid compressing the fur or foam during storage to maintain acoustic performance.
