FAQ
Can I clean and reuse the WM82 wiremesh cap?
Yes — the metal mesh can be gently cleaned. However, caps that have experienced heavy makeup or perspiration exposure should be replaced to preserve audio quality. The 5-pack format supports regular rotation.
Is the WM82 different from the WM81?
Yes — the WM82 is for omnidirectional (LC82/EC82/HC82 MD) mics while the WM81 is for cardioid (LC81/EC81/HC81 MD) mics. They differ in capsule fit and are not interchangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which environments see the most benefit from black protective caps?
Black caps are ideal for dark stage environments, broadcast studios with neutral backdrops, outdoor nighttime events, and any production where the microphone should remain visually inconspicuous. Black blends well across most lighting conditions.
How do these caps protect against makeup buildup?
The wire mesh prevents makeup particles, oils, and other residue from settling on the microphone capsule. This is especially important for television, theatre, and live broadcast where performers wear heavy makeup.
Can these caps be used in both indoor studios and outdoor venues?
Yes, the black finish and protective mesh work effectively in both settings. The caps offer the same wind, pop, and dust protection whether used in climate-controlled studios or variable outdoor conditions.
How does the WM82 omnidirectional design differ in use from cardioid?
WM82 omnidirectional caps protect microphones that capture audio from all directions equally. This suits panel discussions, round-table meetings, and ambient recording better than the directional focus of cardioid models.
What is the recommended cleaning process for black mesh caps?
Gently wipe the mesh with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and makeup residue. Avoid water or solvents that could damage the mesh or penetrate the capsule.
Why is a 5-pack useful for active event venues?
Multiple spare caps allow quick replacement if one becomes contaminated or damaged during a show. A 5-pack ensures continuous operation across multiple microphones or quick changeovers between events.
What is the typical lead time for delivery across the GCC?
Delivery timelines vary by location and current stock. Contact Procure.ae to confirm expected delivery to your specific GCC location.
Do these caps require installation, or are they plug-and-play?
These caps are fully plug-and-play; simply slide them onto your compatible omnidirectional microphones with no installation required.
What is included in a black WM82 5-pack?
Each pack contains five black AKG WM82 MicroLite wire-mesh protection caps designed for omnidirectional microphones.
Are these caps designed to fit cardioid or omnidirectional microphones?
These WM82 caps are designed for omnidirectional microphones: the LC82 MD lavalier, EC82 MD ear-hook, and HC82 MD headworn models.
What materials are used in the WM82 construction?
The WM82 features wire-mesh construction that protects the microphone capsule. For detailed material specifications and durability claims, contact Procure.ae.
