The HWS-6 is a hairy windscreen built specifically for Zoom's SGH-6 and SSH-6 shotgun microphone capsules. The elongated furry design breaks up wind turbulence around the shotgun element, providing significantly better wind noise rejection than standard foam covers while keeping the audio signal clean and transparent.

Shotgun mics are inherently more sensitive to wind noise due to their directional pickup pattern, so a proper hairy windscreen isn't optional for outdoor work. The HWS-6 fits snugly over the SGH-6 and SSH-6 without impeding their directionality. A straightforward, necessary accessory for field recording and video production.
