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.

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