Using the supplied wind screen
By fitting the wind screen to the built-in
microphones, you can reduce noise caused
by wind or breath that hits the microphones
directly.
Be sure to fit the wind screen so that the peak
level indicators are covered.
If the wind screen is not properly fit, it will
produce no effect.

caused by air from the projector air vents,

and if the left, right, or both the left and right
XLR/TRS INPUT LEVEL switch(es) are set to the
