Sennheiser MZW 80-1 Microphone Blimp Windscreen Cover | MZW80-1
The moment you slide the Sennheiser MZW 80-1 over a field recorder’s shotgun mic, the dense black synthetic fur tells you it’s built for serious outdoor audio work. It feels substantial?like a piece of gear meant to survive a windy hillside or a bustling city street?yet it’s lightweight enough to forget it’s there.
- A dense, wind-reducing cover designed for most standard-diameter shotgun microphones: This blimp-style windscreen traps and dissipates gusts before they hit the capsule, so your recordings stay clean even when the breeze picks up.
- Fits snugly over a variety of blimp assemblies and mic bodies: You don’t need a custom mount; the MZW 80-1 stretches over compatible rigs and holds tight, thanks to its tailored elastic opening that won’t slip off mid-take.
- Built to handle field recording’s rougher conditions: The synthetic fur and mesh layering work together to block rustling leaves, footsteps, or nearby traffic rumble?not just steady wind?without adding annoying low-end muffling.
- Quick to install and remove on location: A simple pull-and-settle process means you can pop it on before setting up a boom or handheld rig, and yank it off when you move indoors, all without fumbling with zippers or ties.
Whether you’re capturing dialogue on a documentary shoot or gathering ambient sound for a podcast, this Sennheiser cover is a practical, no-fuss tool that helps you keep the focus on what you’re recording?not on the weather.
