SUNMON Foam Windscreen for Elgato Wave 1 Microphone, Pop and Wind Noise Filter

Technical overview

For creators recording voice with an Elgato Wave 1, this SUNMON foam windscreen is designed to reduce plosive pops and hiss from close speech. The high-density foam also helps soften breath and wind noise, making it a practical addition to a voiceover, podcast, or vocal recording setup. Its flexible construction fits over the microphone, while the foam helps shield it from dust, moisture, and flying spittle during regular use.

The fitted cover offers a straightforward alternative to setting up a separate pop screen in front of the mic. It sits directly over the Wave 1 and is easy to install, remove, and clean, so you can put it on for a recording session and take it off when needed. The package contains one foam windscreen, the Elgato Wave 1 microphone is not included.

What it works with

Its close-fitting shape is intended for that mic, making it a focused choice for Wave 1 owners who want foam coverage without adding a separate screen in front of the microphone.

Pairing it with that mic gives you a simple way to address plosive and breath sounds at the source while keeping a protective foam layer around the microphone.

Its purpose is to reduce pops, hiss, breath, and wind noise, it can also help protect the microphone from dust and moisture. For recording at a desk, the fitted design keeps the setup centered on the microphone rather than requiring a separate pop screen positioned between you and the mic.

The cover is removable and easy to clean, which is useful when switching between recording sessions or putting the microphone away. The foam may arrive compressed in its packaging. Take it out and leave it for a little while to return to its original shape before use.
