No — the W81 fits only cardioid LC81/EC81/HC81 MD capsules. For omnidirectional LC82/EC82/HC82 MD mics, the W82 windscreen is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
When would a production choose white W81 windscreens instead of beige or black?
White windscreens work best for talent with very light or pale skin tones, or for productions with specific aesthetic requirements where a neutral white complements costume and set design.
How do white windscreens appear on stage lighting during live theatre productions?
The white color reflects stage lighting, making it visually prominent. This can work for experimental or avant-garde theatre but may be less discreet for realistic productions.
Is the white W81 windscreen equally effective at reducing wind noise compared to darker colors?
Yes, the foam construction provides identical wind and breath noise reduction regardless of color.
Can broadcast operations mix white W81 windscreens with other colors across multiple talent?
Yes, you can use mixed colors, though a consistent color scheme across all talent typically creates a more polished on-camera appearance.
How securely does the white W81 windscreen fit over the wire-mesh cap?
The windscreen slides snugly over the wire-mesh cap and remains secure during performance without additional fastening.
Are the white W81 windscreens suitable for both dance and theatrical microphone applications?
Yes, the W81 is versatile across theatrical applications, from classical ballet to contemporary dance and stage plays.
