Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What must I plug the mic into so I'm portable inside out. I'm just starting out

A: This item acts as a shock mount to protect a condenser mic from vibrations, and as windscreen that fits a variety of Rode brand shotgun microphones. The blimp includes a a short XLR pigtail cable for connecting the mic cable to a boom pole with ease. I am not sure what type of scenario you will be using the mic for, but generally a shotgun mic would attach to a boom pole and be aimed at talent to pick up isolated dialog. The mic would be connected directly into a camera, or into a field mixer/recorder.

Q: 2. Will Sennheiser SKP300 wireless xlr transmitter fit onto the end of this? Compatible?

A: We have a Sennheiser MKH-416 with a Sennheiser EK 500 G4 Pro Wireless Plug-On XLR transmitter attached to the mic, and it works great in this blimp. Still lots of extra room inside even it you have a longer mic.

Q: 3. Does it fit Rycote windshield #4?

A: We have not tested the Rode DeadWombat with the Rycote Windshield #4 (B&H # RYWS4) to be able to confirm compatibility, but it seems like it would be larger than desired for the Windshield #4. As a gauge for comparison, the Rycote Windjammer WJ4 (B&H # RYWJ4) is designed specifically for use with the Rycote Windshield #4. The WJ4 has a length of 500mm and an outer diameter of 125mm. The Rode DeadWombat is slightly longer and much wider than the Rycote WJ4. The DeadWombat has a length of 515mm, an inner depth of 508mm, and an outer diameter of 170mm. Rycote notes that a Windjammer is most effective when it fits tightly over the Windshield. Their Windjammers are designed so that their approximate length is about 50mm longer than the corresponding Windshield.

Q: 4. How does this differ from the medium Super-Shield (B&H # RYSSKM), and can the super-shield replacement front pods (such as the B&H # RYSSRPS) be used with this (so I can also use it with my smaller mic), please?

A: Hi there; thanks for your question. The design is based on the Super-Shield, so other Super-Shiled parts will be compatible, including the front pods. The keyword with the Perfect for range is 'optimisation'; we have balanced and measured everything so that the windshield covers the vast majority of mics in the NTG range.

Q: 5. Will a Sennheiser MKE 600 fit this blimp?

A: Yes. It fits mics up to 12.75 in length. The MKE 600 at 10.1 should fit great. My Rode NTG2 is 22mm in diameter so the Rycote Lyres should also hold the 20mm diameter of the MKE 600.

Q: 6. Does this have any kind of thread to attach to a boompole?

A: Yes. If you are attaching it to a studio Mike stand you will need an adapter. Rode makes one for 10 bucks.

Q: 7. How many inches long is the windshield - I have a shotgun mic (Azden SMG 2x) that is 10 inches long? Will this windshield cover it?

A: This windshield is actually just the cover. Its is not a shell. It was specifically designed for the rode blimp. It is possible that this cover might fit over a different shell but if you just have the shotgun mic then no. It won't. You'll need the ride blimp as well.

Q: 8. Does this Windjammer provide up to 50dB of Wind-Noise protection like the Rycote Windjammer for Rode Blimp(B&H #RYWJRODEBLMP)?

A: Rode has not provided an exact spec for the amount of wind reduction provided by the Rode DEADWOMBAT in dB, but it is a professional-level windjammer and will provide similar levels of wind reduction to other windjammers of this size.

Q: 9. will the Sennheiser Mkh 416 fit into this setup?

A: The Rode Blimp Windshield will accommodate the Sennheiser MKH 416, and similar sized shotgun mics.

Q: 10. Will this work with Sennheiser ME66/K6?

A: Yes.
