BUBBLEBEE – The Spacer Ball

The Spacer Ball is a spherical windshield solution engineered for small condenser microphones and boom mics, built to offer confident wind protection without compromising the natural character of your recordings. Designed for use both indoors and outdoors, it delivers a dependable balance of audio transparency, stability and control — whether you’re working on a lightweight suspension or capturing sound in unpredictable weather.

Developed using the same proven materials found in The Spacer Bubble, The Spacer Ball combines a noise-free mesh exterior, a carefully tuned open-foam core and a secure, precision-made rubber base. The result is a compact, robust windscreen that preserves detail while reducing turbulence, rumble and unwanted movement around the microphone body. The SpacerBall is the perfect windscreen for dealing with wind noise or swooshing sounds caused by quick lateral movements such as boom swings.

The Spacer Ball is available in two sizes:

• 65 mm for optimized weight distribution when using smaller compact condenser microphones on suspensions (such as the DPA 4018C, Schoeps Mikrofone CCM or CMC series or the Sennheiser MKH 8000 series of microphones).
• 100 mm for increased enclosure volume and stronger wind resistance in more challenging environments (perfect for boom mics with a longer body or preamp, such as the DPA 4011, DPA 4015, DPA 4018A or 4018B, as well as the Sennheiser MKH 50).

Each Spacer Ball includes a long-haired fur cover, offering additional protection when windy conditions intensify, while maintaining excellent frequency transparency thanks to its multi-pile, high-density fiber construction.
