Product Overview

The PS 15 (008472) is designed for vocalists and broadcasters who demand natural sound reproduction. Standard foam windscreens can often muffle high-end detail; however, the PS 15 uses a specialized dual-layer black gauze stretched over a thin, circular frame to break up air blasts while remaining acoustically transparent. This ensures that the "Neumann character" of your microphone is preserved while protecting the capsule from moisture and plosive energy.

Product Description

Acoustically Transparent Suppression:

The PS 15 consists of a round, slim frame covered on both sides with fine black gauze. This double-mesh design creates a small air gap that effectively diffuses the high-velocity air bursts associated with "P", "B", and "T" sounds. By neutralizing these bursts before they hit the microphone capsule, the PS 15 prevents low-frequency "thumps" and signal clipping, resulting in a much cleaner vocal track that requires less post-production filtering.

Precision Positioning:

Equipped with a rugged 30 cm (12") gooseneck, the PS 15 offers total flexibility in placement. The gooseneck is stiff enough to stay exactly where it is moved—even under the weight of the screen—yet flexible enough to allow for minute adjustments. This is critical for finding the "sweet spot" between the singer and the microphone to optimize the proximity effect.

Universal Mounting System:

The PS 15 is built for versatility in the studio. It features a robust mounting clamp with a knurled screw, allowing it to be attached securely to any standard microphone stand, boom arm, or desktop mount. The clamp is designed to provide a firm grip without scratching the finish of your stand hardware.

Wide Compatibility:

While it is the perfect companion for Neumann’s TLM 102, TLM 103, and U 87 Ai, the PS 15 is compatible with virtually any vocal microphone. Its 13 cm (5.1") diameter provides a generous "strike zone" for vocalists, making it suitable for both solo singers and voiceover artists who may move slightly during a performance.
