Lavalier Foam Windscreens Rycote Brown pack of 5 for lavalier microphones

Pack of five brown foam windscreens by Rycote designed for lavalier (lapel) microphones. These lightweight foam covers reduce wind noise and plosive sounds while providing basic protection against dust and light moisture. The slim, low-profile shape is intended to fit most small clip-on lavalier capsules and to remain discreet on clothing during ENG reporting, interviews, theatre work and broadcast applications.

Advantages

Rycote foam windscreens combine minimal visual impact with practical acoustic benefits: the porous foam dissipates air gusts to lower wind rumble and soften plosives, while the snug fit prevents the foam from slipping off small lavalier heads. The brown color offers a less conspicuous option on darker fabrics and skin tones. The set of five provides spares for multi-microphone setups or replacement during extended productions.

Suitable for

• ENG and field reporting where discreet wind protection is required
• Interviews and documentary shoots with lapel microphones
• Theatre and stage performances to reduce breath and plosive noise
• Broadcast and studio applications needing low-profile mic covers
• Situations where quick replacement or multiple spares are useful

Key specifications

• Quantity: pack of 5 foam windscreens
• Color: brown
• Material: acoustically transparent foam
• Intended microphone type: small lavalier/lapel capsules
• Design: slim, low-profile fit to minimize visibility

How to use

Slide the foam windscreen gently over the lavalier capsule until it sits securely around the microphone head. Ensure the foam covers the grille area without compressing the capsule or blocking any mounting clips. For best results position the mic and windscreen so that wind is deflected by clothing or a natural barrier when possible. Replace windscreens when they become stretched, torn, or visibly soiled to maintain consistent acoustic performance.

Usage recommendations

Use these windscreens for light to moderate wind protection; for stronger wind conditions consider pairing with a furry windshield or clothing-mounted windshield system. Store spare windscreens in a clean, dry container to avoid dust accumulation and to preserve foam shape.
