Product identity
The Rycote 104405 is a slip-on foam windscreen sized for 40/55 reporter and handheld microphones. It is built for field reporters, videographers and streamers who need quick wind and pop protection without a bulky cage.
Sustained behaviour
The open-cell acoustic foam resists moisture and UV light so it keeps its attenuation properties during long outdoor sessions. High-frequency detail remains intact even after repeated exposure to damp or bright conditions.
Deciding specification
It delivers up to 20 dB wind and pop noise attenuation with minimal high-frequency loss. If your recordings demand more rejection than that, this windscreen will not be sufficient.

Questions about this item
How much wind and pop noise does the Rycote 104405 foam windscreen reduce during all-day outdoor recording?
The open-cell acoustic foam provides up to 20 dB of wind and pop noise attenuation while keeping high-frequency loss to a minimum, so audio stays clear through long sessions.
Which microphones will the 40/55 size windscreen fit without extra adapters?
The 40/55 designation means it slips onto reporter-style or handheld microphones with a 40 mm to 55 mm diameter head, no additional mounts required.
Will the foam degrade if I keep using it with older microphones in humid or sunny conditions?
The high-quality foam resists moisture and UV light, protecting both the windscreen and the microphone capsule from environmental wear over time.
