Neumann WNS 100 Foam Windscreen for KM Series Pencil Microphones

Neumann WNS 100 Foam Windscreen for KM Series Small-Diaphragm Microphones

The Neumann WNS 100 is a genuine foam windscreen designed to reduce unwanted wind noise, breath noise, and plosive sounds when using compatible Neumann KM Series small-diaphragm condenser microphones. Manufactured from high-quality open-cell polyurethane foam, it provides effective acoustic protection while preserving the microphone's natural frequency response and directional characteristics, making it an ideal accessory for professional studio recording, broadcasting, live sound, podcasting, and field production.

Whether recording indoors or outdoors, the WNS 100 helps minimize interference caused by close speech, air movement, and rapid microphone boom movements. Its precision-fit design ensures secure installation while maintaining the renowned sonic accuracy expected from Neumann microphones.

Reliable Wind and Pop Noise Reduction

Wind, breath noise, and sudden air pressure changes can negatively affect microphone performance and recording quality. The WNS 100 effectively attenuates these unwanted noises without introducing audible resonances or significantly altering the microphone's pickup pattern. The result is cleaner, more natural recordings with improved speech intelligibility and reduced low-frequency rumble.
