AKG W90 - Microphone Windscreen C451B - 65th Anniversary

AKG W90 Foam Windscreen for C451 B (65th Anniversary Edition Compatible) and Blue Line Capsules

The AKG W90 is a foam windscreen designed by AKG for pencil microphones. It is optimized for the AKG C451 B — including its 65th Anniversary Edition — and for Blue Line CK91/CK92/CK93/CK94 series capsules. Featuring durable foam construction and a black finish , it effectively reduces wind noise and plosives with ease: it snaps directly onto the microphone grille and is ready for recording or live use. It is a simple and reliable accessory for protecting your microphone’s microphone jacks in the studio , broadcast and sound reinforcement , and a quick alternative when a high-performance windscreen is not required.

• Does it work with all Blue Line capsules? Specifically, the CK91, CK92, CK93, and CK94 .
