WHB/N DSM
Windscreen
Professional and Amateur DSM customers have
expressed a need to suppress wind-blast effects
while recording outdoors.
DSM Mic Windscreen Headband + molded case . . . $250 USD
WHB/N keeps the advantages of stealthy profile and full frequency
fidelity of the DSM's without resorting to large wind-blocking
mechanisms (like an umbrella) to provide the necessary air-quiet
zone surrounding head or HRTF Baffle mounted DSM microphones.
$250.00 USD* *With molded hardcase+DSM Mic Premounted
The WHB accessory provides DSM mic mounting within a stealthy profile
fabric windscreen looking identical to 'Walkman-style' lightweight
headphones.
The WHB virtually eliminates the wind's low-frequency rumble effects and
recorder overloads that often occur in windy conditions or if recording on an
open moving platform.
The WHB fabric/wire frame windscreen is effective in preventing airgust
overloads; producing only a very natural quiet rushing sound* in strong
gusts that adds the realism of the wind's natural presence in true concert
with all other sounds in ambient recordings.
Most film Sound Designers use the DSM microphone mounted inside
WHB/N windscreen accessory. For a partial list of DSM mic user's film

(*NOTE: The WHB allows the natural recording of the "Sound of Strong Blowing Wind"as was used by Bob Grieve for most sound
effects/ambient for: Wyatt Earp (Western / Feature / Warner Bros. Pictures) Supervising Sound Editor Released 06/24/1994)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The WHB is a robust headband with removable "lightweight headphone-sized" fabric windscreens for
wearing the DSM pickups without eyeglasses (or other) mounting. The fabric wind screen reduces the low
frequency effects of strong gusty winds without the usual sound distortions and noise generation of windscreens in
general.
Most windscreens provided by other
microphones manufacturers effectively
remove the wind's air blast effects and some
(or most) of the whistling, high-frequency sounds
created when wind traverses an unprotected
pickup but, at the expense of increased
harmonic distortion, frequency dependent
peaks/dips, and attenuation of highfrequencies.
The commonly available open-cell foam type
windscreen materials, while having all the
discussed problems, are extremely effective at
blocking all wind blast effects but, often generate
annoying hissing sounds with the wind'
presence.
