Bubblebee Industries The Windbubble Pro
Bubblebee Industries The Windbubble Pro — The ultimate wind protection for omni-directional lavalier, field recording, and headset microphones. Whatever the make or size of your mic, there are a whole range of premium quality furry Bubblebee windshields just waiting to keep away those horrible wind noises and let in the clean and clear frequencies.
The Windbubble PRO lav mic windshield consists of a soft rubber mount. Unlike hard plastic mounts this special rubber mount absorbs shocks and stops vibrations transferring to your mic’s capsule. The rubber mount holds the furry windshield firmly in place on your mic, making sure it doesn’t slip off. In addition to this, the rubber mount has a slight conical shape inside, which ensures you can’t push your microphone too far into the windshield. This is very important to ensure that your microphone has a “bubble” of dead-air around the capsule for optimal wind protection and audio clarity. This means that your mic will consistently stay in the best possible position for maximum efficiency.
The fixed positioning of the mic using the rubber mount has allowed Bubblebee the ability to engineer a smaller overall profile for the Windbubble PRO without compromising on the efficacy of the wind protection. Each mount size is also available in a larger ‘Extreme’ version which consists of an inner foam core, surrounded by Bubblebee’s much-loved multi-pile faux fur, to offer you an even greater level of wind protection for your microphone. These are especially helpful on those super windy exteriors and a perfect solution for factual, ENG, and broadcast shoots.
Every Windbubble PRO is available in Bubblebee’s renowned multi-pile faux fur. This unique fur has been specially designed with varying lengths of fur to help gradually slow down the wind particles before reaching the mic. The base of the fur has a higher density of shorter hairs and an acoustically transparent backing material for maximum frequency transparency. So instead of the wind hammering on the microphone and making those horrible, “I’m in the middle of a hurricane” sounds, the capsule is kept in a calm bubble of wind protection and allowed to perform at its best.
Each Windbubble PRO is available in a single or twin-pack of lapel mic windshields and in four different colors (black, grey, white and beige) to allow you to color-match to the costume or outfit of the talent.
Please note: The Windbubble PRO is only suitable for omnidirectional microphones. If you have a directional microphone, then the original Windbubble is the best microphone windshield for your mic.
FEATURES:
WORLD-RENOWNED PROTECTION FROM WIND
Best in the industry wind protection thanks to the bubble-effect and rubber mount in the design. The construction of the Windbubble PRO holds a quiet space of dead-air around the mic capsule, allowing it to perform the best way possible and delivering detailed and naturally transparent audio to your transmitter or recorder.
WINDBUBBLE PROS WON’T FALL OFF
The rubber mount firmly grips your mic, ensuring the windshield will stay in place. No need to worry about it falling off mid-shoot.
CHOOSE YOUR SIZE AND MODEL
Available in four different sizes to fit the most popular lavalier, head-worn, and field recording mics. Each size is also available in a standard version for discretion and an ‘Extreme’ version for greater wind protection. Large versions are also available (here), only as twin packs.
NATURAL SOUND
The fur and mesh construction makes The Windbubble PRO acoustically transparent to keep the sound very close to the microphone’s natural frequency response.
CHOOSE YOUR COLOR
Available in four different colors (black, grey, white, and beige) of high quality Bubblebee faux fur to make it easier to match a Windbubble PRO color to most outfits.
MULTI-PILE FUR
The short, dense hair of the fur gives the Windbubble PRO a rounded and organic shape, while the longer fur slows wind down gradually for best-in-class wind protection. The Bubblebee fur is less shiny than others, to better blend with skin, clothes, and other surrounding materials.
QUALITY YOU CAN TRUST
Designed in Denmark by sound lovers, for sound lovers!
