The Neumann WNS 120 is a professional foam windscreen designed to reduce unwanted wind noise, breath sounds, and handling-related disturbances when using Neumann 100 Series, KM A, and KM D microphones. Manufactured from high-quality open-cell polyurethane foam, it provides effective wind attenuation of approximately 15 dB while preserving the microphone’s natural directional characteristics and sound quality. Its lightweight design and secure fit make it an essential accessory for studio, broadcast, and field recording applications.
The Neumann WNS 120 is a premium foam windscreen engineered to improve recording quality by minimizing unwanted noise caused by wind, rapid microphone movements, and close-range speech or instrument recording. Specifically designed for Neumann 100 Series, KM A, and KM D microphones, the WNS 120 provides reliable acoustic protection while maintaining the microphone's renowned sonic accuracy.
Constructed from specially selected open-cell polyurethane foam, the WNS 120 effectively reduces wind-generated turbulence before it reaches the microphone capsule. This results in approximately 15 dB of wind noise attenuation when measured at a wind speed of 20 km/h without electrical filtering. The design helps maintain clean, intelligible recordings in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Unlike lower-quality windscreens that can introduce unwanted resonances or alter microphone performance, the WNS 120 is acoustically optimized to preserve the microphone's directional characteristics and overall tonal balance. The only effect on the audio signal is a slight attenuation of approximately 2 dB at 15 kHz, ensuring natural and transparent sound reproduction.
With a diameter of 48 mm and a length of 65 mm, the WNS 120 fits securely over compatible microphones while remaining lightweight and unobtrusive. Finished in black, it blends seamlessly into professional recording, broadcast, live sound, and production environments.
