Overview

The Shure RK261BWS is a four-pack of black foam windscreens designed as direct replacements for a range of Shure miniature and lavalier condenser microphones, including the SM84, MX183, MX184, MX185, WL84A, WL183, WL184, and WL185. These small but important accessories serve a critical role in live sound, broadcast, theater, and studio recording by reducing wind noise and plosive interference that can compromise the clarity of close-miked audio sources.

Each windscreen slips easily over the microphone capsule without tools, and the foam material is light enough that it does not noticeably affect the mic's frequency response. Having four in a package is practical for anyone managing a multi-microphone setup or simply wanting to keep replacements ready, since foam screens inevitably wear down after repeated use and cleaning. For Shure users looking to maintain the performance of their miniature condensers, the RK261BWS is a straightforward, factory-spec replacement that keeps audio clean and microphones protected.
