Rycote 18 cm SGM Foam Windscreen

The Rycote 104401 windscreen fits shotgun microphones and reduces wind and pop noise by up to 20 dB while keeping high-frequency detail intact. It is built for videographers, sound engineers and streamers who record outdoors or in drafty rooms and need a lightweight, slip-on shield that does not colour the audio.

Open-cell foam handles moisture and UV

Durable open-cell acoustic foam resists moisture and UV light so the windscreen keeps its shape and attenuation after repeated outdoor sessions. The material stays acoustically transparent in normal use, adding no audible self-noise and drawing no power from the microphone or recorder.

Slip-on design needs no extra hardware

The standard-hole foam slides straight onto compatible shotgun microphones without clips, straps or adhesives. No software, mounts or spare parts are bundled, so the only change to your kit is the windscreen itself.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 18cm SGM foam windscreen on my shotgun microphone?

Slip the windscreen directly over the microphone barrel until it seats firmly against the body; the standard hole is sized for SGM-pattern shotguns so no adapter or tape is needed.

What upkeep will the open-cell foam need over time?

The foam resists moisture and UV light, so normal outdoor use requires no special treatment; simply brush off dust and let it air-dry if it gets wet.

At what wind level does the 20 dB attenuation stop being effective?

The 20 dB figure applies to light wind and pop noise; in sustained strong gusts the foam will saturate and wind rumble will break through.
