Effective Wind and Plosive Protection
The Rode WSVM Pop Filter / Wind Shield in Black is a high-quality foam windshield designed for Rode VideoMic, NTG1, and NTG2 microphones. Ideal for filmmakers, broadcasters, and content creators across Australia, it provides excellent protection against wind noise and plosives, ensuring clear audio in outdoor or close-mic recording scenarios.
High-Quality Audio Protection
The WSVM is crafted from high-quality open-cell foam, offering acoustic transparency while effectively reducing wind noise and plosives (e.g., “p” and “b” sounds). It is specifically designed for Rode’s VideoMic, NTG1, and NTG2 microphones, with compatibility extending to NTG4 and NTG4+ models. Users praise its secure fit and performance in light to moderate wind conditions, with reviews noting it “fits perfectly” and “works great” for reducing wind interference indoors or outdoors. However, for heavy wind, some recommend pairing it with a deadcat or blimp for enhanced protection, as noted in an Amazon review: “Only good for light breezes. Hard wind sounds as if there’s nothing even there.”
Durable and Compact Design
Manufactured in Rode’s Sydney, Australia facilities, the WSVM weighs just 4 g and measures 50 mm H x 50 mm W x 162 mm D, ensuring a lightweight, unobtrusive fit. Its durable foam construction withstands frequent field use, and the slip-on design allows easy installation and removal. Some users report the fit can be loose, occasionally slipping off, suggesting a drop of adhesive for a secure hold if needed. Backed by a 1-year warranty (extendable with registration at rodemic.com), it’s a reliable choice for professional audio setups.
