Brand
NEUMANN
The Neumann WS 87 is a professional-grade, open-cell foam windscreen meticulously tailored to protect your high-end studio microphones from wind noise, breath plosives, and sudden boom movements. Designed with acoustic transparency in mind, it provides an exceptional 26 dB of wind noise suppression while preserving the original frequency balance and polar response of your microphone capsule.
Neumann WS 87 Professional Foam Windscreen for Large-Diaphragm Studio Microphones
The Neumann WS 87 is a high-quality foam windscreen designed to reduce unwanted wind noise, breath noise, and handling disturbances when using compatible Neumann large-diaphragm condenser microphones. Manufactured from acoustically optimized open-cell polyurethane foam, the WS 87 provides effective wind protection while preserving the microphone's natural sound characteristics and directional response, making it an essential accessory for professional recording, broadcasting, podcasting, voice-over production, and live speech applications.
Whether recording vocals in the studio, capturing dialogue, or working in environments where air movement and plosive sounds are present, the WS 87 helps maintain clean and intelligible recordings without significantly affecting overall audio quality.
Effective Wind and Pop Noise Reduction
Close-range speech, vocal performances, wind, and rapid microphone movement can introduce unwanted low-frequency noise that affects recording clarity. The Neumann WS 87 is engineered to minimize these disturbances by providing approximately 26 dB of wind noise attenuation, allowing microphones to deliver cleaner recordings in challenging recording conditions.
Its carefully designed open-cell foam construction minimizes acoustic coloration while maintaining the microphone's original polar pattern. Only a slight attenuation of approximately 3 dB at 15 kHz occurs, preserving the natural tonal balance expected from professional Neumann microphones.
Acoustically Transparent Foam Construction
The WS 87 is manufactured using premium open-cell polyurethane foam that effectively reduces wind turbulence without introducing unwanted resonances. This design allows the microphone to maintain accurate frequency response and directional performance while providing dependable protection against airflow generated by speech, outdoor recording conditions, and microphone movement.
