Sound for Video Session: Spacer Bubble Wind Covers for Boom Microphones

In this week's Sound for Video Session, we have an initial look at and tests of the Spacer Bubble. This is a slide-on cover for boom microphones that evidently works significantly better than traditional foam and fur covers. Let's see how it prevents distortion from wind and how transparent it sounds — the big tradeoff of wind covers for microphones.

If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. We have a course on sound for live-streaming with the ATEM Mini, Introduction to Izotope RX for Dialogue Audio, and Mixing fundamentals in DaVinci Resolve Fairlight.
