AKG W407 - Foam Windscreen for C417/C407 and CK55 Lavalier Microphones

The AKG W407 is a foam windscreen designed to reduce wind noise, consonant pops (p, b, t), and air turbulence on lavalier microphones . It is the AKG recommended accessory for the C417 and is compatible with the C407 and CK55 , offering discreet and effective protection without increasing the microphone's visual bulk. Its black finish maintains a low profile in front of cameras and audiences, ideal for conferences, education, broadcasting, theater, and corporate events.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it significantly reduce high frequencies? A foam windscreen introduces a slight attenuation in the high frequencies under normal conditions, but its benefits in controlling plosives and wind are often more than offset in real-world use.

How do I attach it? Slide the W407 over the lavalier capsule until it's firmly seated. Make sure it's not blocking the sound intake grille.
