AKG W1001 - Foam Windscreen for AKG C1000S Microphone (Black)

The AKG W1001 is a foam windscreen designed specifically for the AKG C1000S small-diaphragm condenser microphone. Its black acoustic foam reduces plosives (p, b, t), wind noise , and air turbulence without sacrificing clarity, making it ideal for vocals, acoustic instruments, video, and live performance. It is an official replacement, easily snapping onto the C1000S capsule and providing a secure fit for everyday use in the studio, on stage, or on the go.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work with other AKG microphones? It's designed as a replacement for the C1000/C1000S . The manufacturer doesn't guarantee its use with other models.

Does it attenuate high frequencies? Like any foam, it can introduce a slight attenuation in high frequencies; in return, it effectively reduces wind and plosives, improving the overall result in real-world applications.

How to clean it? Remove the windscreen and shake it gently; it can be hand-washed with warm water and mild soap. Let it dry completely before replacing it.
