Rode WS9 Furry Windshield (Pink) for VideoMicro & VideoMic Me Series

Rode WS9 (Pink): Clean Outdoor Audio With Standout Style

The Rode WS9 in pink is a deluxe furry windshield for the VideoMicro and VideoMic Me series, built from an open-cell foam core wrapped in acoustically transparent synthetic fur. Record outdoors without one and moving air across the bare capsule becomes a low, roaring rumble that swallows your voice and can ruin a clip you cannot reshoot. The WS9 slips over the microphone and breaks that air apart before it reaches the diaphragm, so your sound stays clear. In vibrant pink, it does the job while giving your setup a personality that reads instantly on camera.

How a Furry Windshield Actually Stops Wind Noise

Wind noise is turbulence rather than true sound. Air moving directly across the microphone diaphragm creates pressure fluctuations the mic captures as a loud, low-frequency roar that drowns out everything else. The long synthetic fur of the WS9 makes that moving air break into small, slow eddies in the pile before it can reach the capsule, sharply cutting the pressure that turns into rumble. Under the fur, an open-cell foam layer diffuses the air again and softens plosives, the bursts of breath from close-up "p" and "b" sounds. Because the fur is acoustically transparent, the sound you want passes through with only a slight, natural rounding of the very top end, so you lose the wind and keep the clarity.

Molded to Fit Rode Compact Microphones

The WS9 is shaped for Rode compact on-camera microphones: the VideoMicro, the VideoMic Me, the VideoMic Me-L, and the VideoMic Me-C. A cover matched to those exact bodies seats snugly and holds its position instead of sliding or spinning mid-take, and it avoids the dull, muffled sound a poorly fitted windshield can introduce. It goes on and comes off by hand in seconds, with nothing to unscrew and no extra mount to keep track of, so adding wind protection to a tiny rig never slows you down.

Who the Pink WS9 Is For

This is for the creator whose look is part of the content. The vibrant pink turns a functional accessory into part of a personal brand, a natural pick for lifestyle vloggers, streamers, and social creators who want a rig that stands out in frame and in a thumbnail. It is just as practical for anyone who simply likes their gear to have character, or who wants a windshield that is easy to spot and hard to misplace. Underneath the color it is the same capable tool, turning a compact Rode microphone into a dependable outdoor recorder so wind never dictates when and where you can shoot.
