Neumann WKE 82 Windscreen Set for KMR 82 i Shotgun Microphone

Neumann WKE 82 Complete Windscreen Kit for KMR 82 Shotgun Microphones

The Neumann WKE 82 is a professional windscreen kit developed specifically for the Neumann KMR 82 shotgun microphone. Designed for demanding outdoor recording applications, it provides highly effective protection against wind noise and handling vibrations while preserving the natural sound quality and directional performance of the microphone. The complete system is ideal for film production, television broadcasting, electronic news gathering (ENG), documentary filmmaking, sports coverage, and professional location sound recording.

Engineered for maximum versatility, the WKE 82 combines an elastic suspension, pistol grip, boom pole connector, wind basket, textile wind cover, and Windjammer™ fur cover to help audio professionals capture clean, intelligible recordings in changing weather conditions. The suspension system can be used independently or mounted inside the wind basket, providing flexibility for different production environments.

Professional Wind and Handling Noise Reduction

Outdoor recording presents challenges such as wind turbulence, boom handling noise, and mechanical vibrations. The WKE 82 is engineered to minimize these unwanted noises while maintaining the KMR 82's highly directional pickup characteristics and natural off-axis response. This enables production teams to record dialogue and ambient sound with greater clarity and consistency in the field.
