Rycote 18cm Large Hole SGM Foam Windscreen

This windscreen is a slip-on foam accessory designed to reduce wind and pop noise for shotgun microphones. It uses open-cell acoustic foam to achieve up to 20 dB attenuation while preserving high-frequency detail. The 18cm length and large central hole accommodate the specific profile of SGM-style microphones for a secure fit.

Suits outdoor recordists needing wind protection

Built for professionals capturing audio in open environments where light wind and moisture are factors. The foam resists UV degradation and handles damp conditions reliably. Not suitable for users needing a full suspension system, a blimp enclosure, or wind protection for handheld or small-diaphragm microphones.

Up to 20 dB wind attenuation

This spec defines the windscreen's core performance, balancing noise reduction against tonal transparency. The open-cell foam structure delivers this attenuation while maintaining the microphone's natural response. If your recording demands greater wind-noise rejection than 20 dB provides, this foam layer alone will not suffice.

Questions about this item

What microphone diameter does the 18 cm large hole fit?

The 18 cm foam windscreen has a large central hole designed to accommodate shotgun microphones for a snug fit and clear sound passage.

How do I install the windscreen without damaging the foam?

Slip the windscreen gently over the microphone barrel until the large hole seats around the capsule; avoid stretching the open-cell foam or tearing the edges.

When should I replace the foam windscreen?

Replace it if the open-cell foam becomes brittle, crumbles, or loses its moisture and UV resistance after extended outdoor use.
