Audio-Technica AT8159 Small egg-shaped foam windscreen

Product Overview

The Audio-Technica AT8159 is a small egg-shaped foam windscreen that reduces wind noise and breath pops on compatible Audio-Technica microphones in live sound and recording applications. This foam microphone windscreen slips over the capsule to protect audio capture from plosives and air movement during speech, instrument miking, and field work. Its black foam blends visually with the microphone, keeping the setup unobtrusive on stage and on camera. The AT8159 is designed to fit Audio-Technica microphones built to the S1 and S11 case styles.

Product Description

The AT8159 is a small, egg-shaped foam windscreen finished in black to complement the microphone it covers. As a microphone windscreen, it attenuates wind noise and softens breath plosives that can otherwise overload an input or distract a listener, which is useful for lecterns, panel discussions, instrument miking, and outdoor capture. The acoustic foam slips over the microphone head and stays in place during handling, making it a practical accessory for AV technicians managing live events and houses of worship. Because it is shaped for the S1 and S11 Audio-Technica case styles, the AT8159 is a direct-fit windscreen rather than a generic universal foam. Keeping spare windscreens in a kit lets technicians swap a soiled or damaged cover quickly between sessions, supporting hygiene in shared-microphone environments. The low-profile egg shape minimizes any change to the microphone's appearance on camera. You can explore compatible microphones and additional windscreens in our microphone accessories catalog. Standardizing on the correct windscreen across a microphone fleet simplifies maintenance and keeps audio consistent from room to room.
