Frequently asked questions
Are these windscreens compatible with all AKG microphones?
No. These fit only the AKG LC81 MD (lavalier), EC81 MD (ear-hook), and HC81 MD (headworn) lightweight cardioid reference microphones. They are not compatible with other AKG models.
Can I layer these windscreens with other protection?
Yes. The foam can be stacked above the optional WM81 cardioid wire-mesh protection cap for enhanced protection in demanding environments without compromising audio clarity.
What is the practical difference between white and beige for my use case?
White blends with skin tones and light clothing for broadcast and presentations where the microphone is visible on talent. Beige is more discrete on stage or in studio and avoids drawing visual attention. Performance and noise rejection are identical.
How much bulk do these add to a microphone?
The W81 Microlite foam construction increases microphone diameter only fractionally and adds negligible mass, preserving the compact profile and responsive handling of your original microphone.
