OQAN AWS01 Professional Windscreen Foam Cover for Handheld Microphone
The OQAN AWS01 is an essential accessory for any vocalist, podcaster, or sound engineer looking to instantly improve the quality of their audio recordings. This high-density pop filter is specifically designed to cover the capsule of most standard handheld microphones, acting as a first line of defense against unwanted noise. Its porous acoustic polymer construction allows the natural passage of vocal sound waves, maintaining brightness and clarity, while effectively filtering out air turbulence that can ruin a perfect take.
Beyond its acoustic function, the AWS01 acts as a protective shield for your equipment. In live performances, rehearsals, or recording studios, microphones are constantly exposed to breath moisture, saliva, and ambient dust. By using this cover, you extend the lifespan of your microphone's metal grille and internal diaphragm, preventing oxidation and the buildup of residue. Its discreet and professional black design blends seamlessly into any stage or video setup, offering a clean and polished aesthetic.
Main features
-
Efficient acoustic filtering: Drastically reduces noise produced by light wind and moving air currents.
-
Anti-Pop Protection: Minimizes the impact of plosive consonants (such as "P" and "B") and sibilants, smoothing the voice without the need for aggressive equalization.
-
Durable and flexible material: Made with high-quality foam that recovers its shape and fits snugly to the microphone head without slipping.
-
Universal compatibility: Designed to fit the vast majority of handheld dynamic microphones and "ball" style microphones on the market.
-
Guaranteed hygiene: It works as a washable and interchangeable barrier, ideal for studios or rehearsal rooms where several users share the same microphone.
Benefits for the user
For sound professionals and artists, using the OQAN AWS01 results in cleaner recordings from the source. By eliminating air plosives before they reach the capsule, post-production and editing work is reduced. For rental companies or conference rooms, this accessory is an investment in hygiene and maintenance, as it prevents saliva from penetrating the microphone's electronic components, protecting the investment in more expensive equipment. Furthermore, its easy installation allows for quick and easy swapping between different users.
Use cases
-
Live outdoor performances: Essential for mitigating wind noise at concerts or outdoor events.
-
Rehearsal rooms and Karaoke: Essential hygienic protection when multiple singers use the same equipment.
-
Podcasting and Broadcast: An economical and effective solution to obtain a more controlled "radio" voice with fewer volume peaks due to plosives.
-
Interviews and journalism (ENG): Improves voice intelligibility in noisy or windy environments during on-the-street reporting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this windscreen suitable for large studio condenser microphones?
The AWS01 is primarily designed for dynamic handheld microphones (with a ball head). Although the foam is flexible, it may not adequately cover large-diaphragm studio microphones with very wide cylindrical or rectangular shapes.
Does it affect the volume or equalization of the voice?
It's made with acoustically transparent foam to minimize any loss of high frequencies. The volume reduction is imperceptible, while the improvement in clarity by eliminating wind noise is very noticeable.
Can it be washed?
Yes, it is recommended to wash it periodically with warm water and neutral soap to maintain hygiene, making sure to let it dry completely before placing it back on the microphone.
