Rode WS-LAV Foam Windshield for Lavalier Microphones, 3-Pack

Rode WS-LAV: Everyday Foam Protection for Your Lavalier

The Rode WS-LAV is a high-quality foam windshield for lavalier microphones, supplied as a pack of three, that helps prevent wind noise and hard plosive sounds from overloading the capsule. It slips over the element of a compatible Rode lavalier and is the everyday layer of protection a body-worn microphone needs indoors and in light breezes. Small, discreet, and easy to keep in quantity, it is the accessory that quietly keeps your dialogue clean day after day.

What a Foam Windshield Actually Does

A foam windshield is an acoustic diffuser: its open-cell structure slows and scatters fast-moving air before it strikes the diaphragm, taming two everyday problems at once. The first is plosives, the burst of air from hard consonants like p and b that can overload a close-worn capsule and produce a distracting pop; the foam spreads that blast so it never hits the element as a single punch. The second is light wind and indoor drafts, which the foam smooths into a manageable flow. For controlled environments and gentle breezes, that is exactly the right amount of protection without the bulk of a fur windshield.

Protection That Also Preserves the Microphone

Beyond wind and plosives, the WS-LAV shields the capsule itself. A lavalier worn close to the mouth collects breath moisture, dust, and debris over time, all of which degrade a sensitive condenser element. The foam takes that punishment instead, keeping the diaphragm cleaner and extending the working life of the microphone. Because the windshields are consumable, replacing a tired one is far simpler than risking a fouled, degraded capsule.

Fit, Compatibility and the 3-Pack

The WS-LAV is shaped to fit the Rode Lavalier, Lavalier GO and RODELink LAV microphones; note that it is not compatible with the Lavalier ME. It ships as a pack of three because foam windshields are everyday consumables that compress, discolour, and go missing, and a multi-microphone rig needs one per capsule. Keeping a fresh set on hand means every lavalier is always protected and presentable.

Who the WS-LAV Is For

It is for anyone running a Rode lavalier in controlled or lightly breezy conditions: presenters and interviewers, podcasters, corporate and conference AV, and content creators who want reliable plosive and light-wind protection indoors. Pair it with the MINIFUR-LAV fur windshield for heavy outdoor wind, and your lavalier is covered for every environment.
