Schoeps W 5 Foam Windscreen

The Schoeps W 5 is a large solid foam windscreen for 20 mm microphones, made above all for omnis that need stronger wind protection.

It also serves as a low-cost pop screen where plosives are a risk. On directional microphones it is for light wind only, but it changes their sound and pattern very little, even at low frequencies. Outdoors in gusty wind, Schoeps’ hollow foam W 5 D gives more protection. The W 5 comes in black and gray.
