Foam Windscreen for Cleaner Audio with Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphones
The Rode WS5 Windscreen is a foam microphone windscreen designed to reduce wind noise and vocal plosives when using compatible Rode small-diaphragm condenser microphones. It helps protect recordings from unwanted air movement, making it a practical accessory for both studio sessions and outdoor recording where wind or breath noise can compromise audio clarity.
Designed Specifically for NT5, NT55, and NT6 Microphones
This windscreen is shaped to fit the Rode NT5, NT55, and NT6 microphones precisely. A proper fit ensures the microphone capsule is fully protected without obstructing sound pickup, allowing the microphone to perform as intended while benefiting from added noise reduction.
Reduces Wind Noise and Plosive Interference
The WS5 foam material helps slow down fast-moving air before it reaches the microphone capsule. This reduces low-frequency wind rumble and plosive sounds caused by breath, improving intelligibility for dialogue, vocals, and detailed acoustic recordings.
Acoustically Transparent Foam Preserves Natural Sound
Constructed from acoustically transparent foam, the WS5 minimizes airflow impact without noticeably affecting frequency response. This allows the microphone to maintain its natural tone and clarity while gaining protection against environmental noise.
Suitable for Studio and Outdoor Recording Applications
While especially useful outdoors, the WS5 is also effective indoors where air conditioning, fans, or close-mic vocal work can introduce unwanted noise. It supports consistent performance across studio recording, field work, interviews, and location sound capture.
Simple Installation with a Secure Fit
The WS5 slides easily onto compatible microphones and stays securely in place during use. Its lightweight design adds minimal bulk, making it easy to integrate into existing mic setups on stands, booms, or recording rigs.
