Microphone lavalier foam windshields Rycote Lavalier Foams Beige (pack of 5)

Rycote Lavalier Foams Beige (pack of 5) are foam windshields designed for lavalier and clip-on microphones. Supplied in a set of five, these beige foams fit most miniature microphone heads and provide basic wind-noise attenuation and protection against plosive breath sounds. They also help reduce dust and moisture contact with the capsule while remaining discreet and unobtrusive in interview, ENG, broadcast and presentation environments.

Advantages

These lavalier foam windshields offer lightweight, low-profile protection that preserves natural vocal timbre while reducing wind and breath noises. The soft foam material conforms to small microphone capsules to maintain a secure fit and minimise handling noise. Supplied as a pack of five, they provide a cost-effective option for professionals and hobbyists who need multiple spares or replacements.

Suitable for

• Interviews and on-camera reporting
• Electronic news gathering (ENG) and field recordings
• Broadcast and livestream presentations
• Corporate events, seminars and public speaking
• Location shoots where discreet wind protection is required

Key specifications

• Material: soft acoustic foam
• Colour: beige for discreet on-camera appearance
• Pack quantity: five windshields
• Compatibility: designed for miniature/lavalier microphone capsules and clip-on types
• Function: basic wind-noise and plosive protection, dust and moisture reduction

How to use

Push the foam windshield gently over the miniature microphone head until it sits securely around the capsule. Ensure the foam covers the grille without compressing the capsule or altering microphone placement. For lavalier microphones worn on clothing, position the mic and foam to avoid direct contact with fabric that may cause rubbing or handling noise. Replace foams as they wear or become contaminated to maintain consistent acoustic performance.

Usage recommendations

For stronger wind conditions, combine the foam with a larger fur or windjammer designed for lavalier use. Store spare foams in a clean, dry place to prevent dust accumulation and prolong service life. Regularly inspect and replace foams if they show signs of tearing, excessive compression or contamination.
