Sennheiser MZW 8000 Dual-Layer Foam Windshield (Anthracite)

The Sennheiser MZW 8000 (Article Number: 502333) is a professional, broadcast-grade foam windscreen engineered specifically for Sennheiser's elite MKH 8000 series modular RF condenser microphones. Tailored for a precision fit over the low-profile MKHC 8020 (omnidirectional), MKHC 8040 (cardioid), and MKHC 8050 (supercardioid) microphone capsules, this windshield provides critical acoustic isolation without altering the capsule's flat frequency response.

Finished in a discrete, low-visibility Anthracite (dark charcoal gray) color, it minimizes visual distractions on television sets, concert stages, or film booms under high-contrast lighting.

Key Acoustic and Structural Attributes

  • Specialized Dual-Layer Foam Matrix: Features an advanced, two-stage open-cell foam layout. The outer layer acts as a coarse buffer to diffuse rapid, fast-moving ambient air currents, while the dense inner layer captures lingering micro-turbulences and sharp vocal plosives (pbt) before they can overload the ultra-sensitive RF diaphragm.

  • Acoustically Transparent Engineering: Unlike cheap generic foam covers that damp upper-register air and muddy the signal, the MZW 8000 is acoustically matched to the MKH series. It introduces negligible attenuation to high-frequency transients, preserving the microphone's signature detail up to 50 kHz.

  • Optimized Indoor HVAC and Boom Isolation: Specifically designed to counter interior wind challenges. It shields the capsule from harsh overhead air-conditioning vents and blocks rapid air rushing sounds caused by fast panning maneuvers on a boom pole during fast-paced film or interview tracking.

  • Snug Friction-Fit Barrel Alignment: The inner mounting channel is bored to match the exact 19 mm diameter of the MKH 8000 modular microphone body, providing a reliable friction-grip fit that won't slide out of place when pointed upside down or used on overhead stage suspensions.

Production Deployment and Field Care Advice

Indoor vs. Outdoor Environment Thresholds: The MZW 8000 is the ultimate baseline shield for studio work, corporate interview locations, and general indoor vocal tracking. However, it is an open-cell foam unit meant to mitigate mild air movement and sudden boom movements. If you take your MKH 8040 or 8050 outdoors into direct, high-velocity environmental winds, this foam cover will not suffice on its own. For outdoor field work, you must upgrade the capsule defense to a specialized basket windshield or slip a dedicated hairy cover (like a Rycote Windjammer) over the top.

Maintaining Foam Integrity: To avoid warping or tearing the micro-cellular foam structures, never twist or aggressively wring out the windshield when sliding it over the microphone head. Smooth it straight onto the 19 mm barrel until the capsule grille is fully covered. If the windshield accumulates stage makeup, dust, or environmental moisture after heavy field use, gently wash it by hand in lukewarm water with mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air-dry completely before sliding it back onto your microphone gear.

Nice but dissapointing
So it sometimes stays cool but if it’s under a blanket and you have your body on it at all it will get warm but the spots you don’t use will get cool sometimes. I am very disappointed in the material though because it’s like my dry skin scratched the pillow case all over which makes me question it and I don’t think I would buy again.

Cooling fabric is Just what I needed
Color: 03-black, Size: 20" X 26" (Pack of 4)
I'm a hot sleeper. These cooling pillow cases are fantastic. It has ended soaked pillow cases. I paired these with waterproof pillow cases for extra pillow protection. I now sleep cooler and wake up dry. I also toss and turn less and wake up less frequently hot, sweaty and uncomfortable and I can sleep though the night. I don't need to flip my pillows over because of sweat. Both sides of these pillow cases have arc chill cooling fabric. They're soft, silky, breathable and comfortable to lay my head on. The colors to choose from is a wide selection. These look great on my king size bed. I love this fabric so much that I upgraded all of my pillows and blanket sheets to cooling fabric. I'm sold on these. The zipper is premium, sturdy and durable. My pillows fit perfectly on these cases. The cooling material is top notch high quality to me with great craftsmanship. I liked these ones so much that I bought more and plan to again. My partner seen and felt these and immediately went online to buy some blankets to go with the pillow cases I gifted. I also bought my son these and a few cooling blankets. These work best with a fan or air conditioner. Highly recommended and you won't regret this purchase if you're a hot sleeper to profusely sweating during sleep.
