The Neumann WS 47 is a windscreen crafted from open-cell polyurethane foam to mitigate wind noise and handling interference during close-range vocal or speech applications. It prevents disturbing noises from wind, plosives, and microphone boom movements without altering the directional pattern or introducing resonances. High-frequency response exhibits minimal attenuation of 3 dB at 15 kHz. Wind noise reduction is 22 dB when tested in a 20 km/h turbulent airstream. Measuring 120 mm in diameter and finished in black, it is suitable for studio recording, broadcast, and live vocal applications where acoustic transparency and physical protection are required.
