Hi,

Hi : ) !!! - When is the windjammer a necessity or useful?
I was looking into this one for a Zoom H2n recorder:

Thank you, kind regards,

Hi !!!

I don't have an answer to your question. Just wanted to point out you don't have to include the "Hi !!!" as the prefix to all the threads you start.

Windsocks reduce the noise produced by moving air hitting the diaphragm of a microphone. They can be useful anytime you have wind noise in a recording, be it because you are outside or because somebody breaths into a mic.

Hi,

Thank you for your message : ) !!!
Do you think this kind of recorder
may be very sensitive to wind noise?
I'll be mostly interviewing people in
a closed enviroment, rarely walking
on a noisy or quiet street. The re-
corder will always be at least four
inches away from the interviewee's
mouth, and usually between six and
ten inches away.

Thank you again, kind regards,

If you are inside than it probably won't be necessary. It could help with combating plosives ("p" and "b" sounds), but I would try it without first. You can always pick one up later.

This is intended for outside recording, to reduce the low-frequency rumbling caused by wind. I believe a foam cover ships with the product, which can be helpful in reducing plosives if the mic is too close/incorrectly positioned to the speaker.

For outdoor recording, these mic add-ons make all the difference. To some extent that also applies when running around with a mic indoors - you still have air moving over the microphone. A zeppelin with a fur cover ("dead cat") gives you outstanding sound quality even in very strong wind.
