Rode WS8 Deluxe Wind Shield

Superior Wind Noise Protection

The Rode WS8 Deluxe Wind Shield in Black is a high-performance windshield designed to reduce wind noise for Rode’s small-diaphragm condenser microphones, ideal for filmmakers, broadcasters, and field recordists across Australia. Compatible with microphones like the NT5, NT55, NT6, M5, and TF-5, it ensures clear audio in challenging outdoor conditions.

High-Quality Audio Protection

The WS8 combines an open-cell foam surround with an outer layer of acoustically transparent artificial fur to effectively minimize wind noise while maintaining audio clarity. Its rubber base prevents wind noise from entering the rear of the microphone’s pickup area, making it suitable for microphones with a 20mm diameter and 27mm capsule depth. The windshield is designed for adverse environmental conditions, delivering pristine recordings for location shoots, interviews, or nature recording. Users praise its effectiveness in reducing wind interference, though some note it may slightly muffle high frequencies in controlled studio settings, recommending removal indoors.

Durable and Easy-to-Use Design

Crafted in Rode’s Sydney, Australia facilities, the WS8 is lightweight at 18 g and measures 100 mm H x 100 mm W x 100 mm D, ensuring easy fitting and removal. Its durable construction withstands frequent field use, and the slip-on design securely fits compatible microphones without additional clips. The black finish maintains a professional look. Backed by a 1-year warranty (extendable with registration at rodemic.com), it’s a reliable choice for professional audio setups.
