Zoom WSS-6 Foam Windscreen for SGH-6 and SSH-6

The Zoom WSS-6 is a fitted foam windscreen made for Zoom SGH-6 and SSH-6 shotgun microphone capsules. It helps reduce unwanted wind noise that can interfere with outdoor recording. Its purpose is to provide a simple, purpose-built layer of protection without changing the microphone setup.

This accessory is suited to field recordists, videographers, content creators, and interview crews using compatible Zoom shotgun capsules. It is useful when recording outdoors, around moving air, or in locations where light wind can affect dialogue and ambient sound. The compact design adds wind protection while keeping the microphone capsule accessible.

The WSS-6 uses foam construction to reduce wind noise while maintaining acoustic transparency. It can also help lessen vocal plosives during close speech recording. This makes it a practical accessory for spoken-word capture and location audio where clarity is important.

In addition to wind control, the foam cover helps protect a compatible microphone capsule from dirt and moisture during normal use. It is designed specifically around the form of the SGH-6 and SSH-6 shotgun microphone capsules. That dedicated fit avoids the need to adapt a universal windscreen to the microphone.

The WSS-6 fits naturally into a Zoom interchangeable-capsule recording setup. It can be used with the SGH-6 mono shotgun capsule or the SSH-6 stereo shotgun capsule when mounted to a compatible Zoom recorder or interface. For users who need added outdoor protection, it is a straightforward accessory upgrade for compatible shotgun microphones.
