Bubblebee Windkiller SE for DPA 4018G Microphoneis a furry windshield that effectively protects your DPA 4018G or 4018E microphone against wind noise, while remaining acoustically transparent—ideal for accurate outdoor recordings.

The Windkiller SE's outer layer features high-density, soft, multi-pile fur, which gradually slows the wind down before it reaches your mic. Inside, a super-soft, smooth, open material helps maintain acoustic transparency.

Q: 2. Whats the difference between long hair and the short one?

A: The simple answer is that a windshield with longer hair can provide better protection for the microphone against wind noise in very strong wind because the longer hair and varying lengths can help to slow down the wind's speed before it reaches the mic. A windshield with shorter hair generally works very well to protect the microphone against wind noise in low- to mid-level wind. Additionally, the shorter hair allows a microphone to retain more of its original frequency response.
