RADIUS WINDSHIELDS Urchin Lavalier mic windshield

The Radius Urchin series represents a high-standard in lavalier wind protection. Crafted from extremely soft, high-quality acoustic fur, these windshields are designed to be low-profile while effectively eliminating wind noise and reducing friction noise from clothing. Unlike standard lavalier covers, the Urchin maintains exceptional acoustic transparency, ensuring that dialogue remains crisp and natural. Available in multiple sizes and specialized configurations, the Urchin series is a must-have for sound recordists working in challenging outdoor environments or demanding hidden-mic scenarios.

The Urchin Family: Available Models

The Urchin is available in four specific versions to match different microphones and mounting needs:

• Urchin (Standard): The classic size, perfect for standard-sized lavalier microphones like the Sennheiser MKE2 or Sony ECM-77.

• Mini Urchin: A smaller, more discreet version tailored for sub-miniature lavaliers such as the DPA 6060, Sanken COS-11, or Sennheiser MKE1.

• Puffer Urchin: Featuring a longer, “fluffier” fur, this model is specifically designed for extreme wind conditions where extra diffusion is required.

• Large Hole Urchin: Designed with a wider opening to accommodate microphones with larger heads or those fitted with specific clips and mounts.
