The Zoom WSU-1 microphone windscreen reduces wind noise around the built-in microphones of compatible Zoom handheld recorders, Handy Video Recorders and iQ microphones. It is available in Canada from Filmgear Canada, Vancouver's cinema equipment and pro audio specialist.

Product Overview

Outdoor interviews and location recordings can be spoiled by air moving across the microphone. The WSU-1 covers the microphone area to reduce that wind noise while remaining acoustically transparent. Zoom lists compatibility with the H1, H2n, H4n Pro, H5 and H6 recorders; Q4 and Q8 video recorders; and iQ5, iQ6 and iQ7 microphones. Match the complete model name on your device before ordering, particularly when comparing an original recorder with a newer Essential or Studio model.

Key Features

Wind-noise reduction

Use the WSU-1 when a compatible Zoom recorder or microphone is exposed to wind during interviews, ambience recording or outdoor video. It protects the microphone area without replacing the recorder's microphones.

Acoustically transparent covering

The covering is designed to reduce wind interference while allowing the sound you want to record to reach the microphone. Monitor a short test with headphones before recording an important take.

One accessory for several Zoom devices

The official compatibility list spans handheld audio recorders, Handy Video Recorders and iQ microphones. Buying by exact model avoids assuming that every similarly named Zoom recorder has the same microphone shape.

How It Compares

Choose the WSU-1 for wind protection on one of the listed Zoom devices. A new recorder is a different purchase: it changes recording functions, whereas this accessory addresses wind at the microphone. The H6essential is a newer recorder sold separately; this WSU-1 compatibility list names the original H6, so do not infer Essential-model fit from the H6 name alone.

Compatible Accessories and Related Gear

  • Zoom H6essential recorder: A newer Zoom recorder to compare separately. The WSU-1 list specifies H6, not H6essential; confirm accessory fit for that newer model.

Who Is This For?

For location recordists, outdoor interviewers, musicians capturing outdoor performances and Q4/Q8 users who already own a listed Zoom device and need microphone wind protection.

Who Should Choose Something Else?

Choose a windscreen explicitly specified for your recorder when its exact model is absent from the list. If you need different inputs, recording formats or track counts, compare the recorder itself rather than treating a windscreen as an audio-system upgrade.
