Pop filter Rode WS2 — black, lightweight foam windscreen for microphones

The Rode WS2 is a lightweight foam windshield designed to fit Rode broadcast-style and large-diaphragm microphones such as the NT1-A, NT2-A, NT1000, NT2000, NTK, K2 and Broadcaster. It reduces hard plosive sounds that can overload the microphone capsule and improves vocal clarity during recording sessions.

Advantages

The WS2 is compact and weighs only 10 grams, providing effective plosive protection without adding bulk or altering microphone positioning. Made from dense foam, it absorbs sudden bursts of air and is simple to install and remove for cleaning or replacement.

Suitable for

• Home and project recording studios
• Broadcasting and podcasting with Rode NT1-A, NT2-A, NT1000, NT2000, NTK, K2, Broadcaster and similar models
• Voice-over work and vocal tracking

Recommendations

Use the WS2 for close-mic vocal recording and podcasting to reduce plosives. Replace the foam if it becomes stretched, torn, or degraded. Clean with mild soapy water and allow to dry completely before reusing.
