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.

Wind Protection questions

What is the difference between a foam windscreen and a furry microphone cover?

A foam windscreen is suited to light airflow, breath noise and plosives, mainly indoors or in sheltered locations. A furry cover, often called a deadcat, is designed to disrupt stronger outdoor wind. Choose based on the microphone type, capsule size and expected recording conditions.

How do I know which lavalier windscreen will fit my microphone?

Check the microphone model and measure the capsule or barrel diameter before ordering. Compare those measurements with the product specifications. Also allow for an existing grille, clip or pop shield. A cover should stay secure without pressing on the capsule or obstructing sound entry.

Do shotgun microphones need a windshield for outdoor recording?

Outdoor recording generally needs more protection than a foam cover alone can provide. Use a compatible shotgun windshield or suspension system, then add a synthetic fur cover when wind is stronger. Confirm the microphone's length and diameter match the system before purchase.
