Frequently asked questions
Are these products compatible with the same microphones?
No. The H2 Croco is designed for AKG MicroLite microphone series only. The WM81 is compatible with AKG LC81 MD, EC81 MD, and HC81 MD cardioid microphones, which are different models.
What problem does each product solve?
The H2 Croco solves microphone mounting and cable protection by gripping the microphone housing to reduce cable stress and failure. The WM81 solves acoustic problems by protecting the microphone membrane from wind noise, plosives, dust, and other environmental contaminants.
Can I use these products together?
Only if you have both compatible microphone types—MicroLite models with the H2 Croco and LC81 MD, EC81 MD, or HC81 MD models with the WM81. They serve different purposes and are not interchangeable.
Which is better for live sound or outdoor recording?
The WM81 wiremesh cap is specifically engineered for live and outdoor applications to reduce wind noise and plosives. The H2 Croco is primarily a mounting solution for cable management and positioning.
