Title: Sennheiser 421 windscreens
Post by: taperjeff on February 19, 2010, 07:04:34 AM

Does anyone know a good windscreen for the 421?  The suggested windscreens from Sennheiser are $50 each.

I thought Sennheiser discontinued the MZW 421 windshield.

Anyway - Rycote do foam windshields and I'm sure there is one available for the MD 421.

Thanks for your responses!  Yes, Sennheiser does carry the MZW 421, but each one is $50.  Rycote carries the mini jammer, originally for a camcorder.  I found the WindTech 20/421 Large Diaphragm Foam Windscreen for $29.95 each and free shipping for orders over $49 from the manufactuer.  Here is the link:

I bought a pair of custom thewindcutter.com furs and have bought plenty of windtech products. good experiences.   I am not familiar with the 421, so I can't speak to that specific windscreen.

I have found the correct Rycote windshield for the MD 421 from their website (http://www.rycote.com/products/families/foam-windscreens/).

It's:- Foam Windshield:  35/50 Reporter Mic Foam (104404)
