Rycote microphone Foams are slip-on foam windshields, designed to protect the microphone head against light wind and pop noise. Made of durable, high quality, open-cell acoustic foam, resistant to moisture and UV light, these windshields offer up to 20dB wind noise attenuation, whilst keeping high frequency loss to a minimum.
Foams are listed with details of the diameter and depth of the recess to take the microphone. The 'hole' size given is the range of microphone diameters that can be accommodated. The length given is the length of microphone that will be covered by the foam. A foam should be chosen which will cover both the end of the microphone and all of the slots or other apertures in the microphone body.
