EV Multi-Port Windscreen:
All PolarChoice microphones come with the exclusive EV
Multi-Port Windscreen. This unique one-piece ported design
offers greatly improved resistance to P-popping noise by
creating a two-stage filter that has an air space between the
stages. This makes the multi-port windscreen as effective
as much larger traditional designs.
