SKU CH-3C8M-251X1

Foam windscreen model 170 fits the SuperCMIT 2U shotgun microphone to reduce wind noise in mild conditions

  • Engineered specifically for the SuperCMIT 2U shotgun microphone
  • High-quality foam construction ensures long-lasting durability
  • Effectively reduces wind noise for clear audio recordings
  • Optimised for reliable performance in mild wind speeds
  • Enhances professional-grade recording quality in challenging environments

Dedicated SuperCMIT 2U fit

The Schoeps W 170 is a foam windscreen built exclusively for the SuperCMIT 2U shotgun microphone. Its medium-grey construction matches the mic and locks on securely without tape or elastic bands. Professional location recordists and broadcast engineers use it to keep dialogue clean when shooting outdoors.

Outdoor dialogue and field recording

It suits sound mixers who need reliable wind-noise reduction on a SuperCMIT 2U in mild breezes. Studios that only record indoors, or crews using different shotgun models, will not benefit from this model-specific design.

Mild wind attenuation headroom

The foam structure tames low-velocity air movement across the interference tube, preserving the SuperCMIT 2U’s directivity. In strong gusts the material reaches its limit, so a fur cover or basket windshield becomes necessary for continued protection.

Questions about this item

Which microphone model is the W 170 windscreen built to fit?

The W 170 is specifically engineered for the SuperCMIT 2U shotgun microphone and will not fit other models.

Will the foam windscreen affect the SuperCMIT 2U's directivity or frequency response?

It is designed for optimal performance with the SuperCMIT 2U, reducing wind noise while preserving the microphone's acoustic characteristics.

How can I confirm the W 170 is seated correctly on the SuperCMIT 2U?

The windscreen should slide securely over the full length of the SuperCMIT 2U with no gaps, and wind noise should drop noticeably in mild breezes.
