You need something that physically blocks the wind. Like a wind sock, foam screen, or a "dead cat". Alternatively, you could up your sound quality all together and get a nice lavalier mic that plugs into the TRRS jack; the one I linked there even comes with the "dead cat" fur for wind blocking.

I've been using this super cheap mic with my Pixel and have been super impressed with the results.

See some budget options below that will do a great job. Also, if it is not too late to return your Zoom, try to get your hands on the Tascam Dr-10L. The Lav locks in place so it won't accidentally fall out when in use by your talent, also it has a smaller footprint than the zoom.

There are several types and form factors of microphones depending on your application. That said, I've had good experience with the Purple Panda Lavalier. Style is clip-on, and connectivity is pretty good (3.5 mm jack).

Does the microphone actually need phantom power?

Try it without phantom power.

Also try adjusting the volume level of the output from the Behringer.

Then throw all that bullshit away, slap yourself on the wrist for bad behavior, and go buy this, or something like it.

You need to simplify. You've got too much going on to hope for a clean signal. That's pretty much it.

I take it since you have the BLUE YETI you don't have any sort of XLR to usb Mix board or adapters at all. Unless you plan to buy a lot new hardware i would say look at a PURPLE PANDA LAVALIER MIC
and Some LONG Exention cords or Get a Long USB extention and a USB Audio adapter like this


I do not know if the RIFT has any USB ports on the HMD like the VIVE Does. The idea here is that you have long enough of a cord between the Lav and the USB adapter (if used) that you can just wrap it with the Rift's Cable back to your computer via Hook and loop cable ties. Only catch is now you must remember to REMOVE the LAV off your shirt, collar, or nipple clamps when you remove the Rift of your head.

The Lav has some really good audio to it. that was recorded with both items I listed above on my VIVE. It's not the best int he world But for 20 bucks jsut for the lav. It's rather good for what you pay for.

The gopro is routed to a purple panda mic. It's decent, but I wish I'd found one with a shorter cord, cuz routing it was annoying.

For music and calls I have a Cardo Packtalk Bold, it's pretty dope.
