W 5 Solid Foam Windscreen

The W 5 is a 3.5" acoustic foam windscreen designed to protect omnidirectional microphones from light wind. It's usable as a low-cost alternative to popscreens when greater efficiency is needed.

With pressure-gradient transducers, the W 5 can be used in light wind only, but it offers the advantage that its influence on sound and polar pattern is minimal, especially at low frequencies.

Compatible microphone bodies include the CCM, CMC 1, and CMC 6.
