The black 14cm WSC-4014 Chinchilla Windshield from Auray is a softer version of the popular WSS-series of professional windshields. This softer windshield is designed for use with many shotgun microphones. It features a specially manufactured open-cell foam matrix surrounded by a layer of soft, 18mm-thick simulated chinchilla fur. This diffusion technology lowers wind velocity in a controlled air space around the microphone, thereby reducing wind noise without muffling the sound. It also features an airtight tapered rubber base that seals out wind from the rear of the microphone, greatly improving isolation and rear wind protection.

When used on a shotgun microphone, the slip-on Chinchilla Windshield is effective in minimizing wind noise and plosive sounds. It is effective in light-to-strong windy conditions (4 to 25 mph) and users can generally expect a 24 to 40 dB reduction in wind noise with negligible dampening of high frequencies. For most applications, the high-frequency dampening is a worthwhile exchange for the dramatic wind noise reduction.

In addition to superior 360° wind protection, the WSS-4014 helps prevent moisture and dirt from damaging your microphone. This windscreen is designed to fit microphones from Audio-Technica, Neumann, Rode, Sanken, Sennheiser, and others. The WSC-4014 Chinchilla Windshield for shotgun microphones is an advanced solution for outstanding wind protection with acoustic transparency.
