AKG ST45 Table Stand vs AKG WM81 Wiremesh Cap Microlite Cocoa - 5 Pack

The ST45 is a microphone stand for desktop mounting, while the WM81 is a pack of replacement windscreen caps for lavalier and headworn mics—they serve completely different purposes. Choose the ST45 if you need a stable table platform for studio or live mic placement; choose the WM81 if you already own compatible AKG lavalier, ear-hook, or headworn microphones and need protective caps.

No sales tax on orders shipped outside California — total cost beats national retailers that charge sales tax in nearly every state.

What microphones does each product work with?

Which is better for live sound?

The ST45 suits live sound if you need a stable table or console stand for stationary mic placement. The WM81 caps suit live sound if you use compatible AKG headworn or lavalier mics and want wind and noise protection.

The ST45 is a single stand suitable for one microphone position. The WM81 comes as a five-pack, giving you spares and the ability to outfit multiple mics or refresh caps between sessions.
