Neumann WS69

The Neumann WS 69 is a high-quality foam windscreen designed specifically for the Neumann USM 69i microphone. Made from special open-cell polyurethane foam, it effectively reduces wind noise, handling noise, and disturbances caused by microphone boom movement or close-range recording. The windscreen provides approximately 20 dB of wind noise attenuation while maintaining the microphone’s directional characteristics, with only minimal high-frequency attenuation.

The Neumann WS 69 foam windscreen is an essential accessory for the Neumann USM 69i stereo microphone, offering reliable protection against unwanted wind and handling noise during recording. Constructed from specially developed open-cell polyurethane foam, the WS 69 minimizes disturbances caused by wind, rapid microphone boom movements, and close-miking applications without introducing unwanted resonances or altering the microphone's directional response.

Engineered to deliver excellent acoustic transparency, the WS 69 provides approximately 20 dB of wind noise attenuation when tested at a wind speed of 20 km/h without electrical filtering. While maintaining natural sound reproduction, it causes only a slight attenuation in the highest frequency range, reducing levels at 15 kHz by approximately 3 dB. Its precision-fit design ensures secure placement on the USM 69i microphone, making it ideal for studio, broadcast, and field recording applications.
