I used this on my Tascam DR-07 MKII digital recorder. It fits perfect on it and the elastic is strong. When I tested this windscreen, I got real close and said lots of Ps, Ts, and used heavy breathing. No distortion was recorded. While recording, I was in a room with a small echo in it and the echo was not recorded (and this was with full sensitivity of the microphone). I then went outside and tested with moderate wind; no wind noise was picked up. Its build quality is great, but does shed slightly like a dead kitten. I got a couple fibers in my mouth when testing it for voice overs. Incoming sound is reduced just slightly as with any screen, but its benefits outweigh this effect. This thing is big, but fits on midsized portable digital recorders nicely. It will add an inch above the mics. It makes your recorder look like one of those troll dolls you put on the end of a pencil eraser. I would have spun it in a circle real fast to check the troll hair effect, but hard to do with a rectangle recorder. With the Tascam DR-07 MKII, this wind screen does slightly block the earphone plug in, but it will not come off when you have the earphones plugged in. However, it does completely block the external mike jack. Not a problem since you don't use this wind screen attached to your recorder when using an external mic. I was concerned with the price for a product this simple, but found it was worth it when I received it and got a feel for it.

Just Plain COOL. Fun to look at, Works miracles with wind and ambient noise diffusion. Crystal clear audio now possible. No more wind noise ruining the shot. Has a neat "RODE" tag on back for style. I'm always on the go, so this windscreen stays on my mic 90% of the time. no issues. Great for recording live bands and music. Especially drums.

It's a little morbid calling this windscreen a dead kitten, but it works wonders on improving the sound quality in noisy situations. The Rode Dead Kitten is great because it fits perfectly on the audio recorder (Zoom H4n here) with an elastic hole that grips the recorder firmly. Unlike the foam screen included with the Zoom H4n that seems to fall off constantly. Also, unlike that foam windscreen, this one seems to actually work. Wind noise is eliminated in nearly all circumstances, probably not under gale force winds, but steady breezes are eliminated really well. What would be a constant hum without or with the foam windscreen included with the H4n disappears altogether with this. This isn't without its drawbacks however. Firstly, it also can muffle overall sound. Well duh, you might say, but what I mean is this: if you're in an environment with even a slight breeze... you need to get rid of it otherwise you get horrible wind sound, right? Well since the Zoom's included windscreen is pointless you turn to your dead kitten. But now you need to boost the audio -- and when you do that, you run into increased sensitivity to background noise and potentially even a little bit of that wind noise you were working to get rid of. So essentially it's a little harder to find a happy medium. Secondly, there's the name itself -- the dead kitten. If you don't leave it attached and you ask someone to hand you the dead kitten, you might get some nasty looks. In summary: Pros: Great at eliminating wind noise. Way better at staying where you want it than the included H4n screen Cons: Can muffle sounds you DO want People will make fun of you for having what looks like the old Troll dolls. Overall, definitely worth the 'price of admission' to use this on nearly all recording sessions or occasions even if you're inside (because it can get rid of some background noise. Just make sure you're recording at a high enough sensitivity to get all the sound you want -- and watch that you don't get sound you don't.

First off, the Dead Kitten is BLACK, not the off white/grey/black seen here. I actually like the black better, but felt I need to mention this for those expecting the color shown. The Dead Kitten is a needed addition to any microphone as it does what it is supposed to do...suppress wind noise. On the Rode Stereo Mic Pro that I also purchased, it is somewhat a necessity due to the fact that this mic picks up sounds from a very wide area and not a focused area as a boom style mic would. The Dead Kitten does a nice job and very happy.

It seems pricey, but once you've spent money for things that only marginally work, you realize the old adage, "the poor man pays twice." This works and works well. It fits over my Audio Technica recorder perfectly, and with the elastic band on the front, should fit most microphones and field recorders just fine. It may take a decibel or two off the microphone signal but doesn't create a muffled sound like other wind screens have.
