FAQ
Can the WM81 cap withstand regular cleaning?
The metal wire-mesh construction is durable and can be gently cleaned. However, caps exposed to heavy contamination from makeup or sweat should be replaced regularly to ensure consistent audio performance.
Are WM81 and WM82 caps interchangeable?
No — the WM81 is for cardioid LC81/EC81/HC81 MD mics, and the WM82 is for omnidirectional LC82/EC82/HC82 MD mics. They are sized differently and are not interchangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who should use AKG WM81 caps for their microphones?
These caps suit broadcasters, theatre performers, and audio professionals using AKG LC81 MD lavalier, EC81 MD ear-hook, or HC81 MD headworn cardioid microphones. They're ideal for any environment where capsule protection and clean audio are priorities.
What performance issues do these mesh caps solve?
The wire mesh shields the microphone membrane from wind noise, pop sounds from speech, dust particles, and makeup residue. This is especially valuable in outdoor events, stage performances, and high-energy broadcast productions.
Are these caps suitable for outdoor event coverage?
Yes, the wind and pop-noise protection makes them ideal for outdoor broadcasts, outdoor ceremonies, and field reporting. The metal mesh effectively reduces wind-induced rumble while maintaining clear audio capture.
How does the cardioid design affect the cap's usability?
Cardioid microphones naturally reject sound from the sides and rear, allowing the caps to be optimized for frontal sound pickup. This directional protection complements the WM81 cap's wind and pop filtering in performance and interview scenarios.
What maintenance is required for the wire-mesh caps?
Gently wipe the mesh with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and makeup residue. Avoid submerging or aggressive cleaning; the mesh design allows debris to be brushed away without damaging the capsule underneath.
Why choose a 5-pack if I only need one microphone cap?
A 5-pack provides spares for replacements after heavy use or damage, maintains backup protection across multiple microphones, and reduces per-unit cost. For regular users, having extras ensures uninterrupted coverage during events or productions.
How long does delivery typically take in the UAE?
Lead times vary based on stock and current demand. Contact the Procure.ae team to confirm availability and expected delivery to your location in the UAE or wider GCC.
Do these caps require installation or setup assistance?
The caps simply slide onto your compatible microphone; no special installation is needed. If you have questions about fitting or compatibility with your specific microphones, reach out to Procure.ae for support.
What exactly is included in each 5-pack?
Each pack contains five black AKG WM81 MicroLite wire-mesh protection caps, ready to install on compatible microphones.
Which AKG microphones work with the WM81 caps?
The WM81 caps are designed for the LC81 MD lavalier, EC81 MD ear-hook, and HC81 MD headworn cardioid microphones.
What materials make up these protective caps?
These caps feature a wire-mesh construction that shields the microphone capsule from environmental contaminants. For detailed material specifications, contact Procure.ae to confirm.
