Reporter Mic Foam

Windshield Rating: MEDIUM

The Reporter Mic Foam is a discreet, slip-on foam windshield, designed to protect the microphone head against light wind and pop noise. Made of durable, high quality open-cell acoustic foam, these windshields offer up to 20 dB wind noise attenuation, whilst keeping high frequency loss to a minimum.

Engineered exclusively for Rycote, this high quality foam also provides excellent resistance against the damaging effects of moisture and UV light.

Additionally, you can now also benefit from a further 12 dB wind noise attenuation with Rycote's Foam Windjammer™, specifically designed to accomodate our range of Mic Foam windshields.

What size do I need?

Finding the correct slip-on windshield will depend on the type, length and diameter of the microphone. Reporter mic foam windshields are designed for cylindrical reporter mics, ranging from 30 to 40 mm in diameter.  

For any windshield to work effectively it must cover all the ports on the microphone. Therefore a windshield with an internal 50 mm depth would be suitable for microphones with slots no further than 50 mm from the front of the mic. The diameter of the microphone is also key, as the fit must be tight in order to achieve a good seal. 

Reporter Mic Foam windshields come in three fittings, 30/55 (internal ø: 30 mm, internal depth: 55 mm), 35/50 (internal ø: 35 mm, internal depth: 50 mm), and 40/55 (internal ø: 40 mm, internal depth: 55 mm).
