DPA
WINDPAC is nothing less than a technological
breakthrough with windshield systems for
microphones!
This new revolutional windshield with
a universal microphone mount is developed
by DPA Microphones is cooperation with
one of the most experienced sound engineers
in the Danish film industry, Jan Juhler.
The DPA WINDPAC-M is an ultra-lightweight,
multi-mic compatible, wind proofing solution
for location recording. Comprised of just
two components - a shock mount and a collapsible
windshield - the WINDPAC-M is extremely
effective, convenient and easy to use.
The WINDPAC-M system weighs just 270 g
(9½ oz).
The shock mount is universal and can be
used with any microphone without the need
for clips or any other fittings. This
'one size fits all' feature is accomplished
by the use of adjustable elastic straps
with different settings to accommodate
any microphone. The shock mount itself
is suspended on a web of rubber straps
providing an excellent damping effect
by absorbing shock from any external disturbances.
The collapsible zeppelin-like windshield
is made from an innovative fabric which
blocks wind noise in gusts of up to 38
m/s (85 mph) while allowing accurate sound
reproduction and audio transparency. The
WINDPAC-M, with medium windshield, fits
any microphone length up to 30 cm (11.8
in).
Simple operation is at the heart of the
WINDPAC. Mounting the windshield onto
the shock mount is just a matter of sliding
and clicking it into place, a quick and
easy process which results in extremely
low handling noise. The windshield itself
can be quickly collapsed in a simple twisting
motion and stored away in its own small
carrying pack.
The WINDPAC-M is supplied with a mono
cable and belt pouch.
