Product Information
Full details
The Rycote Lavalier Windjammer is an essential accessory for videographers, journalists, and sound engineers who require pristine outdoor audio quality. This specialized wind protection is ideal for those who frequently record in breezy conditions, offering significant reduction in wind noise and friction-induced rustle while maintaining audio transparency. While these covers are highly effective at isolating sound, users should note that the fur design increases the physical profile of the microphone, which may make concealment more challenging in tight wardrobe setups.

FAQs
Can I use these for indoor recording?
While you can, it is generally unnecessary. Windjammers are specifically designed for high-airflow environments and may slightly color the sound compared to a foam windscreen.
Will these fit a standard shotgun microphone?
No, these are specifically sized for lavalier microphones. You would need a larger Rycote Windjammer model for shotgun microphones.
How many come in the pack?
This specific pack includes two white windjammers.
Are they machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash them. If cleaning is required, use a light hand wash with mild soap and let them air dry thoroughly.
Will the white color show up on camera?
If you are wearing dark clothing, it will be visible. These are best used when the subject is wearing a white shirt, a light jacket, or when the microphone can be partially concealed.
Troubleshooting
The windjammer keeps slipping off the microphone
Ensure the microphone head is pushed firmly into the base of the windjammer. If it continues to slip, check if the mic's protective cap is creating a smooth surface that prevents a secure grip.
Audio sounds muffled
Check that the fur is not directly covering the microphone capsule too heavily. Sometimes repositioning the mic slightly inside the windjammer can clear the high-frequency response.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent suppression of wind noise and clothes rustle
- High-quality, durable synthetic fur construction
- Extremely lightweight and portable
- Compatible with almost all major professional lavalier microphone brands
Cons
- Increased profile size makes it harder to hide under clothing
- Requires careful storage to prevent the fur from matting
- Not intended for indoor use where wind protection is unnecessary
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, gently slide the windjammer over the head of your lavalier microphone until it fits snugly. Because these are built for versatility, they are compatible with most major brands including Rode, Sony, Sanken, Countryman, DPA, AKG, Audio-Technica, Shure, and Tram. Care is simple: if the windjammer becomes dirty or matted, gently brush the fur with a soft comb to restore its acoustic transparency. Store the units in a clean, dry case when not in use to maintain the integrity of the fur fibers.
