Schulze-Brakel is a company that specializes in producing windscreens for microphones. Their SchulzFoam is made exclusively by the 'finest German manufacturers' and offers over 99% open-pore technology for best sound quality, flexibility for a better fit, and colour stability for longevity.
Along with the WS-COLES/C, which has been designed to specifically fit the Coles Lip Mic, the windshields are split into three product series with their shape being the discerning factor. WS-7C 7000 series are round windshields, WS-8/C 8000 series are square windshields, and WS-9/C 9000 series are triangular windshields. Each series can be manufactured to a specific microphone, see Ordering Notes for more detail.
WS-7/C 7000 series windshield can accommodate up to two logos depending on size, WS-8/C 8000 series can accommodate up to four logos, and WS-9/C 9000 series can accommodate up to three logos. WS-COLES/C can accommodate up to two logos.
All versions are available in standard SchulzFoam dyed finish – which feel rough; or SchulzFoam with flocking - a soft, almost furry surface. Flocked versions are available in a customer specified Pantone colour. SchulzFoam dyed versions are available in one of four Pantone colours – P032C (red), P2925C (blue), P109C (yellow), or anthracite (black).
Special order and bespoke windshields are also available, including multiple blocked or gradient colour windshields (available on flocked versions only), custom shape windscreen, and Schulze3D logo - a 3D embossed logo design within the foam. Please contact our Sales team for a quote.
The flocked surface is an in-house process that provides a brighter look and longer-lasting colour on the outside foam layer. After machining the SchulzFoam to the right shape, this secondary process puts a fine layer of super-fine fibres on the pre-treated Windscreen.
