Frequently Asked Questions

The Dead Cat is significantly more effective than basic foam windscreens, offering superior wind noise reduction, especially in moderate to high wind conditions.
While it's primarily designed for dialogue, the NTG2 can capture instruments, but its limited frequency response might not be ideal for capturing subtle nuances.
Using 48V phantom power from a dedicated audio interface will provide the most stable and reliable operation, although it can function on a 1.5V alkaline battery.
