Superior Wind Noise Protection

The Rode WS6 Deluxe Wind Shield in Black is a high-performance windshield designed for Rode NTG1, NTG2, NTG4, and NTG4+ shotgun microphones, as well as any shotgun microphone with a maximum slot length of 160.5mm (6 1/4″) and a diameter of 21-22.5mm. Ideal for filmmakers, broadcasters, and content creators across Australia, it effectively reduces wind noise in adverse outdoor conditions, ensuring clear, professional-grade audio.

High-Quality Audio Protection

The WS6 features a dual-layer design combining open-cell foam with an outer layer of acoustically transparent synthetic fur, providing excellent wind noise reduction while preserving audio clarity. A rubber base creates a tight seal to prevent wind from entering the rear of the microphone’s pickup area. Users praise its performance in windy conditions, with a review from Amazon stating, “In 15-30mph winds, I could hear the wind in the trees but no pop or rumble on the mic.” It’s less cumbersome than a Rode Blimp, though some note it’s not as effective in extreme winds, recommending a blimp for tornado-like conditions.

Durable and Practical Design

Crafted in Rode’s Sydney, Australia facilities, the WS6 weighs 50 g and measures 100 mm H x 100 mm W x 185 mm D, ensuring a compact, lightweight fit. Its durable construction withstands frequent field use, and the slip-on design with a self-adjusting plastic fitting ensures a secure grip on compatible microphones. The black finish maintains a professional look. Some users report minor fur shedding, but this is minimal and doesn’t affect performance. Backed by a 1-year warranty (extendable with registration at rodemic.com), it’s a reliable choice for professional audio setups.
