FAQ
Is the WM82 cap compatible with cardioid MicroLite mics?
No — the WM82 is designed for omnidirectional LC82/EC82/HC82 MD mics only. For cardioid mics (LC81/EC81/HC81 MD), use the WM81 cap.
When should I use the WM82 cap alongside the W82 windscreen?
For indoor or studio use, the WM82 cap alone provides sufficient protection. In demanding outdoor environments with wind or breath proximity, adding the W82 foam windscreen over the cap provides the most effective noise rejection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between WM81 and WM82 caps?
The WM82 is designed for omnidirectional microphones, while the WM81 fits cardioid models. The WM82 works with LC82 MD, EC82 MD, and HC82 MD omnidirectional microphones and provides the same wind and pop protection.
Why choose omnidirectional microphones with WM82 caps?
Omnidirectional microphones capture sound equally from all directions, making them ideal for round-table discussions, ambient recording, and scenarios where pick-up from multiple angles is needed. The WM82 caps protect this 360-degree sensitivity.
How does beige colour benefit theatre productions?
Beige provides a neutral tone that blends with most skin tones and stage lighting, reducing visual prominence of the microphone. It offers more versatility than pure white or black across diverse stage productions and lighting setups.
What environmental contaminants do these caps shield against?
The wire-mesh design protects from wind, pop noise from speech, dust, makeup residue, and other environmental particles that can degrade audio quality or damage the capsule membrane.
Are beige caps a good choice for outdoor corporate events?
Yes, the beige tone blends well in outdoor settings while the mesh provides essential wind and dust protection. Beige is a versatile colour for corporate, retail, and public event applications.
How should beige caps be stored between events?
Store in a clean, dry container away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Keep away from moisture and dust to maintain the protective mesh integrity.
How can I get a quote and delivery estimate for this product?
Contact the Procure.ae team with your requirements and location. They will provide current pricing, availability, and expected lead time for delivery to the UAE or GCC.
Is professional installation needed for these caps?
No, these caps slide directly onto compatible omnidirectional microphones. Procure.ae support can confirm the fit if you are unsure which microphone models you have.
What does each beige WM82 5-pack include?
Each pack contains five beige AKG WM82 MicroLite wire-mesh protection caps designed for omnidirectional microphones.
Are WM82 caps compatible with cardioid AKG microphones?
No, WM82 caps are designed specifically for omnidirectional microphones: LC82 MD, EC82 MD, and HC82 MD models. Cardioid microphones require WM81 caps.
What is the build quality and expected lifespan of these caps?
