Frequently asked questions
Can I use these products together?
No. The MKG L is an instrument cable for connecting instruments to amplifiers. The W81 windscreens fit only AKG lavalier, ear-hook, and headworn microphones (LC81 MD, EC81 MD, HC81 MD). They serve completely different purposes.
What microphones work with the W81 windscreens?
The W81 is engineered for AKG LC81 MD (lavalier), EC81 MD (ear-hook), and HC81 MD (headworn) models. It will not fit standard-sized condensers or dynamic microphones.
Is the MKG L cable suitable for professional touring?
Yes. The MKG L is built to professional standards with robust shielding and durable construction designed to withstand repeated use and touring demands without compromising audio quality.
Do the W81 windscreens affect tone?
No. The foam construction is designed to reduce plosives and wind noise while preserving microphone tone and clarity, and the Microlite design adds negligible weight to the microphone.
