## Long description

RØDE DeadWombat microphone blimp windshield in grey is a purpose-built furry windscreen sized for blimp-style microphone shockmounts. With external dimensions of approximately 170×515×170 mm, the DeadWombat slides over compatible blimps to reduce wind noise and environmental interference during location recording, ENG, film sound and outdoor interviews. The artificial fur is engineered to be acoustically transparent while attenuating turbulent air and protecting the microphone from weather exposure.
Advantages
The DeadWombat combines a dense, weather-resistant artificial fur exterior with an acoustically transparent interior to minimise wind-generated noise without significantly affecting frequency response. Its form factor fits blimp-type mounts and preserves microphone placement and shockmount isolation. The product is lightweight, quick to fit and removes easily for transport or storage.
Suitable for
 On-location recording in windy environments
 ENG and news gathering with handheld or boom-mounted blimps
 Film and video production sound capture outdoors
 Outdoor interviews and documentary work
Key specifications
 Material: artificial fur designed for acoustic transparency
 Exterior colour: grey
 Approximate dimensions: 170 mm (width) × 515 mm (height) × 170 mm (depth)
 Compatibility: designed for use with blimp-style microphone shockmounts
 Function: wind and environmental noise reduction for on-location recording
How to use
Slide the DeadWombat over a compatible blimp-style windshield while the microphone and shockmount are secured inside the blimp. Ensure the fur fully covers the blimp surface and that no gaps remain around mounting points to maintain effective wind attenuation. For installation, position the blimp with microphone correctly in the mount, then fit the DeadWombat from one end, stretching gently until it seats over the full length. Remove the DeadWombat before packing the blimp away to prevent fur compression or damage.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance in strong winds, use the DeadWombat together with a well-mounted blimp and shockmount, maintain microphone position inside the blimp, and check for secure coverage before recording. Allow the fur to dry before storage if exposed to moisture, and clean gently following manufacturer guidance to preserve acoustic properties.
