AKG W44 Ws for C420

The AKG W44 W is a windscreen, primarily designed to fit on AKG headset or instrument microphones, e. g. AKG C 518M/ML, C 519M/ML, C 516ML, C 520, C 420, C 418PP/L, C 419PP/L, C 416L etc. But it also fits on a wide range of similar microphones from other brands/manufacturers. It is made of durable black foam. The price-performance ratio is very good, so that everyone should have one of these windscreens in spare, in case of loss.

After some years, the original windscreen is gone, wasted. This original windscreen for AKG headsets (identical to Sennheiser headsets ME3) can be replaced easile, put it on carefully. You can enjoy your speech and music without windnoise or sputtering.

Purchased this windscreen for my clipon mic C519.
Fits perfectly. Already played on outdoor gigs with some serious wind.
The feedback was minimal even on a condenser microphone.
Good product, recommendable.

This spare part is great, it lasts for a very long time, i don't use cheap because they break up very soon.

I've got an AKG c520pp that is over 20 years old !
Used it on a gig last week and still does the job.

Foam will degrade over time so great to know you can get spare parts.

Windshield prevents popping, helps position the capsule at the correct distance to use/control proximity effect. There's also a slight softening and feedback reduction which is good.
