Rode WS9-B Windscreen for Microphones – Lightweight, Robust Windscreen (WS9-B)

The WS9 is a deluxe windshield designed for RØDE VideoMicro, VideoMic Me, VideoMic Me-L and VideoMic Me-C microphones. Made from open-cell foam covered with acoustically transparent synthetic fur, it reduces wind noise and breath pops during outdoor and field recordings while maintaining the microphone's acoustic response.

Advantages

The windshield combines lightweight, durable construction with easy fit-and-remove functionality. Its synthetic fur is acoustically transparent to minimise interference with the microphone's frequency response while providing effective protection against wind. The WS9 is compatible with multiple RØDE compact shotgun and mobile microphones.

Suitable for

• Outdoor video recording and vlogging
• Interviews and run-and-gun journalism
• Field production for film and broadcast
• Mobile content creation using VideoMic Me-series microphones

How to use

Recommendations

The WS9 is intended for wind and breath noise reduction in moderate to strong outdoor conditions. For extreme wind, consider combining with additional wind protection or positioning techniques (shielding, lowering profile). Regularly inspect and clean the synthetic fur to maintain performance.
