Wind Protection

About the Wind Protection range

Choose the protection type for your recording conditions. Foam windscreens reduce light air movement, breath noise and plosives around studio, desktop and compact microphones. Lavalier covers use foam, fabric or synthetic fur to reduce clothing rub and wind noise while remaining discreet. Shotgun wind protection is intended for camera and field microphones, often combining a suspension, windshield and removable fur cover. Check the microphone diameter, capsule length and the cover's internal dimensions. For outdoor work, compare whether a product is designed for light breeze or stronger wind, and whether adhesive mounts or tape are included.

Compatibility is the main sizing trap. A lavalier cover that is too loose can move and create noise, while one that is too tight may block the capsule or pull off during use. Match the product to the microphone model, diameter and any existing grille or clip. Shotgun systems also require the microphone to fit the available length and barrel diameter. This category is organised into Lavalier Windscreens & Covers, Shotgun Wind Protection and Foam Windshields, with products from brands including RODE, Deity Microphones, DPA Microphones, Zoom and Blue Mantis. Check each product page for dispatch time.
