Shure A2WS Locking Microphone Windscreen - Reduces Unwanted Breath and Wind Noise, Black - Compatible with SM57 and 545 Series Mics (A2WS-BLK)

I bought this for an outdoor gig but it works so well with plosive reduction I keep it on all the time.

Remember to take along your small screwdriver to lock in place and remove when ready. This is a high quality cover that works well with the high quality SM57 microphone, care it guys it great, good value for cost, high sound quality, locking screw means it wont get loose on the job, great a must for serious users.

Fits perfectly on SM57

Great filter for microphones, well designed to stay in place with a screw, plastic insert allows tightening, size is right, easy to install Made in Korea

Good quality windscreen for the SM57, but I had to dock a star because it only helps a little with plosives. I use my SM57 for recording audiobooks with a preamp, and with that preamp the microphone is a plosive magnet. I was already using a pop filter in front of the microphone and was still having problems. I figured adding this would help. Which it did, but not a ton. The foam is just not thick enough to slow down the air from plosives that cause mic clipping. I was hoping for something thicker and closer to the density of the windscreen that comes with the SM7B, or even the ones that go on an SM58 that work very well in a live setting. Maybe I just need a better pop filter, but up until using this microphone for this work I didn't have any issues with plosives with this pop filter. Overall, it is a good, well made product, was easy to install, and does cut down on moving air noises, but not a ton.

Mini SM7B dupe! Does great for vocal taming and looks cool!

Not much to say about these Shure windscreens that have been on the market in pretty much unaltered form for at least 40 years (I can remember, clearly, my first time on stage - 2 years old - singing with my dad's group "Sweet Home Alabama" at Randy's California Inn in Laurel (sort of) MD singing into a SM57 with the A2WS back windscreen on a long gooseneck bent down so the mic would reach me... a VERY odd early memory - but I have the pics to prove it, somewhere. In any case, 40 year later, I still prefer a SM57 with a windscreen to the SM58. The slightly closer distance to the element allows for a bit more proximity effect to beefed up the low end of my somewhat thin to begin with voice. I know there are plenty of other mics that do this job and have a sweeter overall sound, but this is a mic I am used to , comfortable with mixing, and never fail to get the sound I want out of using equipment with which I am even just marginally familiar. The fact this is a screw-on/locking windscreen drastically beats the slip-over covers , like most windscreens. Worth the bit of extra money to be sure the windscreen stays where it should. If you've got some good condition 57's lying around, and need some live vocal mics and are light on 58s (or other trusted mics) - try picking up a windscreen or two for your 57's and see how you like it. I never looked back. (and that's from someone who has a mic closet with 100s of options.... this isn't my studio/recording favorite, but, while I've tried and liked many newer mics for live, I always come back to this because I fully understand its characteristics and always get what I need.)

Great pop filter, sounds great and protects against plosives. Great price too.

…funziona bene e si monta in un minuto!!

it's perfect for the shore sm57

Ótimo!!!

Seems to be a genuine SHURE product which works very well. Rejects plosives when attached to a SM57 or similar making it a very versatile item.

It was a little bigger than I expected it to be, but it is an official Shure product, so the foam quality is great and fits perfectly onto my SM57. Does a great job of blocking out ambient wind noise like my breathing or AC. No complaints!
