RODENT3 Windscreen
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A foam windscreen sized for the RODE NT3. Cuts plosives and light air movement. Buy it if you already own the mic it fits.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Taming plosives on close-miked vocals or spoken word
- Indoor handheld use where breath hits the capsule
- Light protection from dust when the mic sits out
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Outdoor wind — foam alone won't stop it, use a blimp or furry cover
- Other mic bodies; it's cut for the NT3 diameter
- Anyone wanting a pop filter for detailed studio vocals
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Slip-on fit
Stretches over the mic basket, no hardware or mount. Comes on and off in seconds.
Detail 03
NT3-specific sizing
Sized to that mic's head diameter. A loose fit on a different mic will slide or muffle unevenly.
Detail 04
Black finish
Disappears on camera against dark backgrounds, unlike a grey or coloured screen.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your mic is an NT3 — foam sized wrong slides off or damps unevenly.
- 02Foam degrades over time; expect to replace it after heavy use.
- 03For outdoor shoots you still need a proper windshield system.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my other RODE mics?
It's cut for the NT3 head. Other RODE bodies vary in diameter, so check the measurement on your mic before assuming it fits.
02Does it affect the sound?
Foam takes a small amount off the very top end. Most people don't hear it on speech; it's a fair trade for killing plosives.
03Is this enough for filming outdoors?
No. Foam handles breath and light air movement. Real wind needs a blimp or a furry cover over the mic.
04How do I clean it?
Foam picks up dust and moisture from breath over time. When it looks worn or stops springing back to shape, replace it.
