Product overview
The SCHOEPS W 5 D is a highly effective, large hollow foam windshield for 20 mm microphones, the larger version of the classic B 5 D.
It helps with protection against stronger winds and against moving noise on the boom, and it provides very good effectiveness while minimising the influence on sound colour.
It is made of foam but is hollow inside, so it encloses an air volume around the capsule like a windshield basket. The foam is mounted on a plastic carrier that sits firmly on the microphone; the foam does not touch the microphone, which reliably prevents any motion noise. The microphone should be pushed as far as possible into the W 5 D. It is compatible with all axially addressed SCHOEPS microphones.
