Shure A81WS Gray Large Foam Windscreen for SM81 and SM57

Product Overview

The Shure A81WS is a gray large foam microphone windscreen for Shure end-address microphones, including the SM81 and SM57, that reduces breath and wind noise. It is a practical accessory for instrument, overhead, and podium microphones in houses of worship, broadcast studios, and conference rooms. The large foam suits the end-address form factor of these microphones.

Product Description

This large windscreen fits over the end-address grille of the SM81, SM57, and similar Shure microphones to attenuate breath blasts, plosives, and air movement during speech and instrument capture. AV integrators stock it for podium, lectern, choir, and instrument miking in commercial meeting spaces and worship facilities where clean intelligibility matters. The generous foam dimensions provide effective wind protection for outdoor and high-airflow installations while preserving the microphone's frequency response. The gray finish keeps the microphone visually consistent in professional environments. It is a low-cost consumable suited to high-traffic install and rental inventories.
