How can I reduce background noise when using the Soundfish 2 MkII?
Use the included windshield and shock mount to minimize handling noise and wind. Position the microphone close to the sound source and set your audio interface gain appropriately. The cardioid pattern also helps reject off-axis noise.
Can the Soundfish 2 MkII be used outdoors?
Yes, but with caution. Use the included windshield to reduce wind noise. Avoid exposing the microphone to rain or high humidity. If moisture is a concern, consider a waterproof cover.
