Neumann WSS100

The Neumann WSS 100 Windscreen is a professional foam windscreen designed for KMS 104, KMS 105, KMS 140, and KMS 150 microphones. Made from high-quality open-pore polyurethane foam, it effectively reduces wind noise, breath sounds, and handling-related disturbances while maintaining the microphone’s natural sound characteristics. Ideal for live performances, broadcast applications, and outdoor recording, the WSS 100 provides up to 18 dB of wind noise attenuation with minimal impact on audio quality.

The Neumann WSS 100 Windscreen is a premium microphone accessory engineered to improve recording and live sound performance by minimizing unwanted noise caused by wind, close-range speech, and rapid microphone movement. Specifically designed for Neumann KMS 104, KMS 105, KMS 140, and KMS 150 microphones, it provides reliable protection against air turbulence while preserving the microphone’s renowned clarity and tonal accuracy.

Constructed from specially selected open-pore polyurethane foam, the WSS 100 effectively reduces wind noise before it reaches the microphone capsule. Unlike conventional foam covers that can introduce unwanted coloration or resonance, the WSS 100 is acoustically optimized to maintain the microphone’s natural frequency response and directional characteristics. The only noticeable effect is a slight attenuation of approximately 2 dB at 15 kHz, ensuring transparent and professional sound reproduction.

The windscreen delivers approximately 18 dB of wind noise reduction, measured without electrical filtering in turbulent airflow generated at 20 km/h. This makes it an excellent solution for stage performances, broadcast environments, public speaking, field recording, and outdoor productions where wind and breath noise can negatively affect audio quality.

With a diameter of 45 mm and a discreet black finish, the WSS 100 integrates seamlessly with compatible Neumann microphones while providing dependable performance in demanding professional environments.
