The MD 46 is designed with low handling noise characteristics. To further minimize any unwanted noise from handling:
- Hold the microphone firmly but gently by the handle.
- Avoid rubbing or tapping the microphone body during recording.
- If using a microphone stand, ensure it is stable and isolated from vibrations.
4.3 Wind and Pop Noise
The integrated double-layer grille helps to reduce wind and plosive (P, B sounds) noise. For outdoor use or in situations with strong air movement, consider using an additional foam windscreen (not included) for maximum protection.
