Shure RK229WS – Brown Foam Windscreen for AMS26 and SM63

Product Overview

The Shure RK229WS is a brown foam windscreen designed for the Shure AMS26, SM63, and SM63L microphones, reducing wind noise and vocal plosives during speech and interview applications. The brown color blends with neutral environments and is a common choice for broadcast field work and house of worship podium use. As an OEM Shure accessory, the RK229WS fits the designated models without restricting the capsule's frequency response beyond normal windscreen attenuation.

Product Description

Foam windscreens are essential accessories wherever microphones are used in environments with air movement — outdoor events, ventilated conference rooms, or broadcast settings with HVAC noise. The RK229WS slips over the AMS26, SM63, or SM63L capsule to attenuate low-frequency wind and breath artifacts that would otherwise require post-processing to remove. The brown coloring is less conspicuous than black or gray in many podium and interview settings. Keeping spare RK229WS windscreens in inventory prevents audio disruption during live events and recording sessions.
