Recording in a car with DPA Microphones 4018/4097 and The Windkiller SE

We recently created some special edition wind protection for DPA Microphones 4018G and 4097/4099 models. In this video Caleb puts the new Windkiller SE through some tests, recording dialogue in a moving car using the DPA 4018GS and 4097 microphones. The Windkiller SE: https://www.bubblebeeindustries.com/wkse NB: The audio is unedited and due to the principally low frequency issues that wind can create for microphones, this is best listened to with a decent pair of over-ear headphones or on reference monitors with a suitable frequency range. A lot of the interesting action occurs below 200-300Hz. We noticed around a 10dB reduction in wind gust noise in this region, even though this was a test done in 'real life' settings. ie: no controlled environment. In the spectrograph comparisons later on, the GREEN line is WITH the Windkiller SE and the RED line is WITHOUT the Windkiller SE fitted. ~Here are some of the interesting segments:~ 00:04 - Intro 00:20 - The Naked Mics 00:45 - New Windkiller SE options -- Without The Windkiller SE: 02:00 - Windows up, 4018G 02:26 - Windows up, 4097 03:09 - Windows up, no talking, 4018G 03:24 - Windows up, no talking, 4097 03:43 - Windows down, 4018G 04:01 - Windows down, 4097 -- 04:46 - Fitting the wind protection -- With the Windkiller SE: 05:46 - Windows up, 4018G (with WKSE) 05:58 - Windows up, 4097 (with WKSE) 06:08 - Windows up, no talking, 4018G (with WKSE) 06:16 - Windows up, no talking, 4097 (with WKSE) 06:25 - Windows down, 4018G (with WKSE/comparison without) 06:57 - Windows down, 4097 (with WKSE/comparison without) 07:18 - Windows down, no talking, 4018G (with WKSE/comparison without) 07:40 - Windows down, no talking, 4097 (with WKSE/comparison without) -- 07:57 - in closing...
