Kit multimedia DeadCat RØDE RØDE DeadCat

The DeadCat multimedia kit RØDE DeadCat is a compact windscreen designed to minimise wind noise during outdoor recordings. Constructed from acoustically transparent artificial fur, the DeadCat reduces unwanted wind interference so microphones capture clearer audio in windy conditions. The kit includes one DeadCat sized to fit common multimedia microphones with a compact footprint of 105 mm width, 208 mm depth and 31 mm height.

Advantages

The artificial fur is engineered to lower wind noise while remaining acoustically transparent, preserving the microphone’s frequency response. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for handheld, on-camera and field recording setups. The product is lightweight and simple to attach, providing immediate improvement to audio capture in high wind conditions.

Suitable for

• Outdoor interviews and run-and-gun filming

How to use

Place the DeadCat over the microphone capsule so the fur fully covers the pickup area. Ensure a snug fit without compressing the fur against the microphone to maintain acoustic transparency. For best results, confirm the DeadCat is centred over the microphone and secured to prevent movement during recording.

Recommendations

Use the DeadCat together with a suitable foam windshield when extra protection is needed; remove and dry the DeadCat if it becomes wet to preserve performance.
