Also Known As:

A Foam Microphone Cover, often referred to as a "windscreen" or "pop filter,"

About:

The primary purpose is to protect the microphone from external factors that can interfere with the sound quality. This includes wind noise, plosive sounds (like "p" and "b" sounds), saliva, dust, and other particles.

Common Applications:

• Mic windscreen
• Microphone wind shield
• Pop filter (though traditionally, pop filters are the circular screens placed in front of studio mics)
• Mic sponge
• Microphone foam
• Mic muff
• Microphone sock

Standards:

• Foam Microphone Cover, replacement part. Should be replaced as part of regular maintenance including replacement parts such as ear seals.
• Fits Dalcomm dynamic and amplified dynamic microphone such as used on J and G Series headsets
• Keeps mic clean and resists moisture
• Acts as windscreen to prevent popping sounds

Construction :

When choosing a foam microphone cover, it's essential to ensure it fits the specific size and shape of your microphone. Some are designed for handheld microphones, while others fit lavalier mics or headset mics

Specification :

• Color - Black
• Weight - 0.125
• Dimensions - 8 × 6 × 1 in

Features :

• Noise Reduction: It reduces wind noise when recording outdoors. By dispersing the wind across the foam material, it prevents the direct impact of wind on the microphone element.
• Plosive Prevention: Plosives are bursts of air that come out when we pronounce certain letters, such as "P" and "B". The foam cover prevents these bursts from hitting the microphone directly, which can cause a distorted sound.
• Protection: The foam cover protects the microphone from moisture, such as saliva, and from dust and other small particles. This can prolong the life of the microphone.
• Hygiene: Especially relevant for microphones shared among multiple users, the foam can act as a barrier, reducing the transfer of germs. They can be easily replaced or cleaned as needed.
• Aesthetic and Identification: Foam covers come in various colors, allowing for quick identification of microphones, especially in multi-mic setups.
• Material: They are typically made from open-cell foam which allows sound to pass through while dispersing wind and reducing the impact of plosives.
• Types: There are various types of foam covers based on the microphone they are meant for. This includes covers for handheld mics, lavalier mics, boom mics, headset mics, etc.
• Use Cases: They are commonly used in outdoor recordings, broadcast scenarios, interviews, and any situation where wind or breath sounds can be an issue.
• Maintenance: Foam covers can get dirty over time, especially if used outdoors. They can be gently cleaned with mild soap and water and should be air-dried completely before reusing.
