Zoom WSH-6 Foam Windscreen for XYH-6 Microphone

The Zoom WSH-6 is a replacement foam windscreen made specifically for the Zoom XYH-6 stereo X/Y microphone capsule. It helps diffuse and reduce wind noise during outdoor recording. This makes it a practical accessory for keeping unwanted air movement from becoming as prominent in a recording.

This windscreen is intended for users of Zoom H6 and H8 Handy Recorders equipped with the included XYH-6 capsule. It is useful for location recording, interviews, video production, rehearsals, and other situations where the recorder is used outside or near moving air. The WSH-6 is a capsule accessory rather than a microphone or recorder on its own.

The foam design is made to reduce wind interference while remaining acoustically transparent. It supports clearer capture without changing the recorder's microphone configuration or requiring an external power source. Its purpose is simple: add a layer of wind protection directly over the capsule.

Zoom designed the WSH-6 to slip over the XYH-6 stereo X/Y microphone capsule. The fitted design keeps the accessory focused on the microphone area rather than adding bulk to the rest of the recorder. A cutout provides access to the capsule's gain-control knob.

For owners replacing a lost or worn windscreen, the WSH-6 restores the accessory supplied for the XYH-6 capsule used with Zoom H6 and H8 recorders. It can be added as part of a portable recording setup without cables, adapters, or mounting hardware. The package includes one WSH-6 foam windscreen.

Design & Installation

The WSH-6 uses a foam construction shaped for the Zoom XYH-6 microphone capsule. Its compact, purpose-built form keeps coverage concentrated around the X/Y microphone assembly. The design is intended for use with the XYH-6 capsule supplied with Zoom H6 and H8 Handy Recorders.

To install it, place the WSH-6 over the XYH-6 capsule and align the cutout with the gain-control knob. Confirm that the foam is seated over the microphone capsule without blocking access to the control. Use it whenever the recorder is exposed to light wind or air movement during capture.
