FAQ
Why is colour matching important for theatre and TV?
In close-up camera shots and stage lighting, a mismatched cap colour can make the microphone visually prominent. AKG's multi-colour range allows productions to choose the closest skin-tone match for each performer.
Is the cocoa WM81 compatible with omnidirectional MicroLite mics?
No — the WM81 is for cardioid (LC81/EC81/HC81 MD) mics only. For omnidirectional MicroLite mics, the WM82 in cocoa is the correct model.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would a theatre or broadcast production choose cocoa-toned caps?
The cocoa finish provides discreet skin-tone matching, blending the microphone cap with the performer's skin during close-up shots. This is especially valuable for theatre productions, broadcast interviews, and performances where visual discretion matters.
How do these caps improve video appearance in broadcasts?
By matching skin tones, the cocoa finish minimizes the visual prominence of lavalier or headworn microphones on screen. This allows cameras to focus on the performer's face rather than the audio equipment.
What audio protection do these cocoa caps provide?
Like all WM81 caps, the wire mesh protects the capsule from wind, pop noise, dust, and makeup. The cocoa colour is purely aesthetic and does not affect the audio protection quality.
Are these caps compatible with all cardioid lavalier microphones?
They are designed specifically for AKG LC81 MD lavalier, EC81 MD ear-hook, and HC81 MD headworn cardioid models. Using them with other manufacturers' microphones may result in poor fit or protection.
How often should caps be replaced during intense theatrical runs?
Replace caps when mesh begins to clog with dust or makeup, or if the capsule loses protection. A 5-pack allows frequent replacement without downtime, extending the life of your microphones during long production schedules.
Can multiple performers share these caps between shows?
Yes, as long as caps are cleaned of makeup residue and debris between uses. Wipe gently with a soft cloth to maintain hygiene and ensure the mesh remains effective for all performers.
How quickly can Procure.ae deliver to broadcast studios in the UAE?
Delivery timelines depend on current inventory and your location. Reach out to Procure.ae to discuss your production schedule and confirm expected lead times.
Is installation required before use in a live broadcast?
No installation is needed; simply slide the cap onto your compatible microphone. Procure.ae can answer any compatibility questions if you are unsure which microphones these suit.
What does a WM81 cocoa 5-pack contain?
Each pack includes five cocoa-coloured AKG WM81 MicroLite wire-mesh caps designed for skin-tone blending in broadcast and theatre environments.
Are these caps compatible with omnidirectional AKG microphones?
No, the WM81 is designed only for cardioid microphones: the LC81 MD lavalier, EC81 MD ear-hook, and HC81 MD headworn models. Omnidirectional microphones require the WM82 cap line.
