PROEL WS1BK - Professional Anti-Pop Foam Windscreen for Handheld Microphone (Black)
Optimize the quality of your recordings and live performances with the Proel WS1BK , a high-performance acoustic foam windscreen designed for audio professionals. This essential accessory acts as a first line of defense for your microphone, ensuring that the captured sound is clean, clear, and free from unwanted environmental interference.
Made with premium materials, the WS1BK is more than just a sponge; it's a technically advanced filter calibrated to minimize the impact of wind blasts and plosive sounds without sacrificing high-frequency clarity. Its elongated, wide-coverage design offers superior protection compared to standard filters, ensuring that both the microphone capsule and upper body are shielded. The matte black finish gives it a discreet and elegant look, ideal for stages, television studios, or radio studios where visuals are just as important as sound.
Main features
-
High-density construction: Technical acoustic foam developed to stop wind and air without drowning out the natural sound of the voice.
-
Extended dimensions: With an approximate height of 115 mm, it offers a larger protective surface than conventional foam balls, ideal for robust handheld or reporter-style microphones.
-
Standard universal fit: Its 45mm inner diameter is flexible and fits perfectly with most handheld dynamic microphones on the market (SM58 type and similar).
-
Black Finish: Provides a professional and uniform appearance, minimizing reflections under stage or studio lighting.
-
Durability and resistance: Maintains its shape and elasticity even after intensive use, protecting your audio equipment investment.
Product benefits
Using the Proel WS1BK instantly transforms the listening experience. Its main benefit lies in eliminating pops (the sudden bursts of air produced when pronouncing letters like 'P' or 'B') and drastically reducing wind noise outdoors. This saves hours of post-production editing and prevents ruined live performances.
In addition to improving sound quality, it acts as a hygienic and physical shield . It protects the metal grille and delicate microphone capsule from moisture, saliva, dust, and minor accidental impacts, significantly extending the lifespan of your audio equipment.
Use cases
-
Journalism and interviews (ENG): Essential for reporters working outdoors, where the wind can ruin a story.
-
Stages and live vocalists: Perfect for energetic singers or outdoor concerts.
-
Conferences and public speaking: Ensures that the speaker's message is delivered clearly without distracting breathing noises.
-
Rehearsal studios and karaoke: Keeps microphones hygienic when shared by multiple users.
-
Podcasting and Streaming: An economical and effective solution to improve voice quality in home broadcasts.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this filter compatible with my microphone?
The WS1BK has a standard internal diameter of 45 mm, making it compatible with the vast majority of traditional dynamic handheld microphones (with standard ball or cylindrical heads).
-
Does it affect the volume or equalization of the voice?
It's designed to be acoustically transparent. While it slightly attenuates ultra-high frequencies (which is often beneficial for reducing sibilance), it doesn't noticeably reduce the overall volume.
-
Can the foam be washed off?
Yes, it is recommended to wash it periodically with warm water and neutral soap to maintain hygiene, letting it dry completely in the air before putting it back on.
-
Why is it longer than other models?
Its 115mm length provides extra coverage, which is especially useful outdoors or for covering microphones with longer grilles.
