How to install Sennheiser Basket Windshield

• Prepare your microphone: Ensure the mic is dry and free from dust before attaching the basket windshield to avoid capturing debris along with your audio.
• Position the basket: Align the basket with the microphone head so that the widest part of the shield surrounds the intake area while leaving the microphone grille accessible for connection if needed.
• Mount securely: Use the designated mounting interface or clip designed for your mic model. Tighten the fitting just enough to prevent movement without compressing the basket material.
• Check alignment: After installation, gently rotate and tilt the microphone to ensure the basket does not obstruct any controls or cables and that wind can flow evenly around the head.
• Test and adjust: Conduct a quick wind test by recording in a breezy environment. If wind noise persists or if the shield shifts, recheck the mount and readjust for optimal coverage.
