Frequently Asked Questions

It allows for a much wider dynamic range without clipping, letting you recover details in both quiet and loud sections during post-processing.
While it can technically capture the sound, the limited preamp gain and two channels make it unsuitable for a full band without significant compromise in quality.
The included windscreen helps, but for serious wind noise reduction, a dedicated deadcat-style windscreen is highly recommended.
