Bubblebee Industries The Windkiller SE for Tascam X8 (Bundle)

This Bubblebee Industries Windkiller SE bundle for the Tascam Portacapture X8 holds fur windshields for the recorder’s microphones in both its AB and XY configurations, plus foam windscreens and a carry case.

In the AB configuration, the X8’s detachable microphones take a made-to-fit Windkiller SE. Its multi-pile faux fur slows the wind gradually, and an inner layer of the transparent mesh used on Bubblebee’s Spacer Bubble keeps the microphones sounding natural. A fur strap passes between the bases of the two microphones and fastens with a push button, sealing out wind from below.

For the XY configuration, the bundle adds the Windkiller SE for Portable Recorders in size L, which slips over the top of the recorder and tightens with an elastic drawstring. Two Microphone Foams for Pencil Mics in size M protect the X8’s microphones from plosives and light wind when fur is too much, and a mesh carry case holds the set. The bundle costs less than buying the parts separately, and it suits podcasters, field recordists, and run-and-gun video crews. If the fur gets compressed or wet, let it dry fully, shake it so the fur stands up again, and store it loosely.
