The main purpose of this foam windshield is to suppress wind and pop noise during audio recording, enhancing the clarity and quality of the sound captured. It also provides UV protection to the microphone.
While this foam windshield is specifically designed for the Sennheiser ME66 microphone with K6 power supply, it may fit other shotgun microphones with similar dimensions. However, the best performance is achieved when used with the intended microphone model.
The windshield is made of advanced open-cell acoustic foam, a material known for its excellent sound suppression properties and durability.
The foam material used in the windshield provides a barrier against harmful UV rays, helping to prolong the lifespan of your microphone when used outdoors.
This foam windshield can effectively suppress up to 20dB of wind and pop noise, significantly enhancing the clarity of the audio captured.
Review Summary

The Rycote 104428 windscreen was purchased to replace a 15 year old windscreen that originally came with my Sennheiser ME66, that finally started to fall apart. The only problem with this particular Rycote windscreen, which is supposed to specifically fit the ME66, is that it is too snug to easily slip on and off the microphone, without fear of tearing it. The outside diameter of the ME66 is about 21.5mm, and the inside diameter of the Rycote 104428 is only 19mm. I don't take the windscreens off of my shotgun microphones very often, but this windscreen may not survive even a few such removals. Apparently the next larger diameter that Rycote makes is about 25mm, which is too large.
