The MXL MXL-WS001 Windscreen for Large Diaphragm Microphones is designed to fit microphones with a grill that is larger than 2 inches in diameter like a glove. It prevents excessive wind noise and pop, making your microphone more versatile and functional.
Large Diaphragm Condenser Mics With A Large Head Basket Or An Unusual Shape Are Actually Tricky To Place An Adequate Foam Wind Screen Upon. Most Options I Found Are Not Tall Enough To Completely Cover The Head Basket, Which Is A Non Starter. I Found A Foam Wind Screen From One Company (name = Rye Coat) And The Company Typically Produces Shock Mounts And Such That I Rely Upon And Consider Very Fine Products. And In Truth, The Foam Wind Screen From That Company Is Well Made And It Achieves The Goal Of Completely Covering The Headbasket (on My United Studio Technologies TWIN 87, Which Is A Really Large Head Basket!) On My Mics BUT… It Colors The Frequency Response Of The Mic’s Audio Capture. : (. Big Frowns Face. I Mean, It Is Not A Horrible Change, But It Alters What I Can Expect From The Mic Which Is Problematic. This MXL Foam Wind Screen Is A Lateral Move In Some Repects, But It Accomplishes The Task In An Important Way… Yes, This Foam Wind Screen Does Indeed Cover The Large Headbasket Of My Large Diaphragm Mics, So That Is A Win. It Does NOT Alter The Frequency Capture Of The Mic’s Which Is A REALLY Important Point. The Caveat Is, It Is Not As Effective At Blocking Wind Noise And Voice Pops/ Breath Sounds, So It Gets 4 Stars. Ultimately, This Foam Wind Screen Accomplishes Its Task As Long As You Are Realistic About Your Expectations. #1 It Will Adequately Cover A Large Headbasket. #2 It Does NOT Change The Frequency Capture Of The Mic/ It Is Delivering Transparent Foam Covering. #3 It Will NOT Perform Adequately In Higher Wind Noise Settings. Soooo…. Use It Indoors Or On A Stage In A Low Wind Environment (it Will Block Modest Or Low Winds, Like Wind From An AC Handler, Which Is Important). AND, Make Sure Your Talent Backs Off The Mic Body Just A Little Bit And Then The Foam Wind Screen Will Block Pops And Breath Noise. Use This Tool Within Its Limitations And It Will Serve You Well.
After exhausting all my options in trying to find a windscreen for my mxl 910 microphone B&H had the exact fit for it. Thank you so much.
