Product Overview
The Shure A1WS is a gray foam windscreen for the Shure 515 Series, Beta 56A, and Beta 57 microphones. It reduces breath and wind noise on handheld and instrument microphones used in presentations, houses of worship, and live commercial AV applications. The gray finish offers a low-visibility alternative to black on stage and at the podium while keeping speech and instrument capture clean.
Product Description
The A1WS slips over the grille of compatible 515 Series, Beta 56A, and Beta 57 microphones to attenuate breath blasts, plosive pops, and low-velocity air movement before they reach the capsule. This protects intelligibility when a microphone is close-miked to a presenter or instrument, and reduces handling and airflow noise in commercial meeting and worship spaces. As an inexpensive consumable that wears with use, the A1WS is commonly stocked in quantity so AV teams can keep fresh windscreens on every microphone across a venue. It installs and removes by hand with no tools, allowing fast turnover between events.
Key Features
- Wind and Plosive Reduction — The foam attenuates breath blasts and plosive pops so close-miked speech and instruments stay intelligible.
- Multi-Model Compatibility — It fits Shure 515 Series, Beta 56A, and Beta 57 microphones, covering common handheld and instrument models.
- Low-Visibility Gray — The gray finish offers a discreet alternative to black on stage and at the podium.
- Tool-Free Replacement — It pushes on and pulls off by hand for fast turnover between events and routine maintenance.
