The SCHOEPS W 5 D is a high-performance hollow foam windshield designed specifically for 20 mm microphones. As the larger and more effective version of the classic B 5 D windshield, it provides superior protection against stronger winds while maintaining minimal impact on sound coloration. Featuring a hollow foam construction mounted on a plastic carrier, it creates an enclosed air volume around the microphone capsule that functions like a windshield basket. This design ensures the foam never contacts the microphone directly, effectively eliminating motion noise from handling or boom movement. Recommended for challenging wind conditions, the W 5 D delivers excellent wind noise reduction while preserving acoustic transparency for professional outdoor recording applications.
