AKG W40 M Windscreen
Description
AKG W40 M Windscreen
Slip this windscreen onto your microphone and unlock the freedom to work close to the capsule without plosives and wind noise killing your tone. The soft, acoustically transparent foam preserves the natural brightness and clarity of your voice or instrument while protecting your sound in any live or recording setting. This accessory gives you the technique flexibility of aggressive mic placement—the confidence to perform hard into the mic—paired with the pristine character that separates a polished take from a compromised one.
Acoustic Performance for Live & Studio
The acoustically transparent foam construction eliminates plosives and wind noise that muddy close-miked vocals and instruments while keeping your microphone's natural frequency response intact. Work inches from the capsule for intimate vocal performances or detailed instrument recording without unwanted artifacts coloring your tone—essential when you're tracking tight in untreated rooms or performing in less-than-ideal acoustic spaces.
