Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The screen is extremely effective. Ignore any bad reviews if there is any and buy this. Worth every penny.

They work exceptionally well on small diaphragm condensers. It's bombproof when it comes to plosives and wind noises. I have the pencil condenser in front of me out of the camera shot when shooting video.

Feels firm like the foam inside a nerf ball.

Price


Expensive but will pay for itself the first time you use it if you need to use sm-81s outdoors.


Still, not as ridiculous as spending $400 when you really don't need to.

Packaging/appearance


I think the dimensions listed are for the box it comes in.

Competitiveness


Combine this a81ws windscreen with an sm57 to achieve a very, very similar sound quality of an sm7b for half the price!


Not that i have compared it to the sm7b first hand, but after seeing videos of the comparison and then using the setup, the qua...  Read More


Most people should skip the sm7b and get a sm57 with this pop filter, and save a ton of money.

    Especially if you can’t afford the sm 7b


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    To explain for anyone looking to use on a dynamic micthis will not fit over the basket of most normal dynamic mics


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It fits over instrument mics with a smaller sleeker profile

    The bottom black piece is not removable

    Feels firm like the foam inside a nerf ball


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Inside the foam there is a cavity with a mesh


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You can hear that mesh move around and adjust if you stick the mic in too far or if your mic doesnt fit


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I removed the basket of the blue encore 200 dynamic mic and slipped this on and the tone changed completely
