3. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
The W40 M windscreen is a passive accessory that requires no power or complex configuration. Its function is purely mechanical and acoustic.
- Reducción de ruido: The multi-layer design, incorporating both mesh and foam, effectively diffuses air currents caused by wind or plosive sounds (e.g., 'p' and 'b' sounds). This diffusion prevents direct impact on the microphone diaphragm, thereby reducing unwanted noise in recordings or live sound.
- Protección: The rugged wiremesh grill provides a physical barrier, protecting the delicate microphone capsule from minor impacts and environmental elements.
4. Mantenimiento
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and continued performance of your W40 M windscreen.
- Limpieza: To clean the exterior of the windscreen, use a soft, dry cloth. For more persistent dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, taking care to prevent moisture from entering the interior foam. Allow the windscreen to air dry completely before reattaching it to a microphone.
- Almacenamiento: When not in use, store the windscreen in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid prolonged compression of the foam to maintain its shape and acoustic properties.
- Inspección: Periodically inspect the wiremesh grill and foam for any signs of wear, tears, or damage. If significant damage is observed, consider replacing the windscreen to ensure optimal performance and protection.
