Olympus WJ-2 Wind Jammer - Grey

The primary purpose of the WJ-2 is to reduce or eliminate wind noise (like howling and popping) that can interfere with audio recordings made with the built-in microphones of compatible Olympus digital voice recorders, especially when used outdoors.

The WJ-2 is specifically designed for the Olympus LS-7 Digital Voice Recorder.

While some product descriptions may list older models, the WJ-2 is engineered for the LS-7. For LS-P1/LS-P2 and DM-720/DM-770, it's best to check for a windjammer model specifically listed for those devices, as the microphone arrays may differ.

It works by diffusing the wind before it directly hits the microphone diaphragm. The fuzzy material breaks up the airflow, preventing the sudden pressure changes that cause wind noise.

No, it is designed for a simple, secure fit. You just need to align it over the microphone area and gently press it into place.

It is not recommended to wash the windjammer. For cleaning, use a soft, dry brush for dust and a slightly damp cloth for dirt, ensuring it's completely dry before use.

In very quiet, still conditions, the windjammer might slightly attenuate high frequencies. However, for its intended use in windy environments, the benefit of noise reduction far outweighs any minor acoustic change.

Ensure the windjammer is securely and correctly fitted over the microphones. Check for any gaps or improper seating. Try positioning the recorder to minimize direct wind exposure.

Verify that your digital voice recorder is the Olympus LS-7. The WJ-2 is designed for this specific model and may not fit others due to variations in microphone placement and size.

Remove the windjammer and check if the microphones are obstructed by anything other than the windjammer. Reattach the windjammer ensuring it covers only the microphone area and doesn't impede airflow unnecessarily.
