Microphone windscreens work by diffusing the wind, normalizing the air pressure around the microphone capsule, and creating a chamber of “dead air” that isolates the microphone from turbulent airflow. This is achieved through:

  • Diffusion: Disrupting direct airflow using porous materials.
  • Dead Air Chamber: Creating still air space around the microphone.
  • Acoustic Transparency: Using materials that minimize alteration or loss of sound frequencies. The design balances wind noise reduction with minimal impact on the audio signal.
