FAQ
Should I use the WM81 cap with or without the W81 foam windscreen?
For indoor use, the WM81 cap alone provides sufficient protection. In windy outdoor environments, adding the W81 foam windscreen over the cap provides maximum wind rejection with only a slight size increase.
Is the WM81 cap compatible with omnidirectional MicroLite mics?
No — the WM81 is designed for cardioid LC81/EC81/HC81 MD capsules. For omnidirectional variants, the WM82 cap is the appropriate model.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wire-mesh protection cap, and how is it different from a windscreen foam?
A wire-mesh cap is a rigid protective cage that shields the microphone capsule membrane from physical damage, wind, and environmental contaminants. It works in tandem with foam windscreens or on its own.
Which AKG cardioid lavalier and headworn microphones are compatible with the WM81 wire-mesh cap?
The WM81 is designed for the LC81 MD lavalier, EC81 MD ear-hook, and HC81 MD headworn cardioid microphones.
Why would a theatre company choose to use both the WM81 wire-mesh cap and a foam W81 windscreen together?
Combined, they provide dual protection: the wire-mesh guards against physical impact and environmental contamination, while the foam windscreen reduces wind and breath noise.
How does the beige WM81 wire-mesh cap blend with talent appearance on stage?
The neutral beige tone matches most light and medium skin tones, keeping the microphone and protection cap visually discreet during performance.
What environmental hazards does the wire-mesh cap protect against?
The wire-mesh shields the capsule membrane from water spray, dust, light rain, and contact with performers' skin, costumes, or stage props.
Does the 5-pack quantity of WM81 caps work for standard theatre ensemble requirements?
A 5-pack suits smaller casts and allows for spares and replacement during rehearsals. Large ensembles may require multiple 5-packs.
