Shure AMV88-FUR Rycote Windjammer for MV88 - Cuts Wind Noise Outdoors

In this review the Shure AMV88-FUR Rycote Windjammer for MV88 is judged as a focused solution for users who record speech or instrument detail outdoors and need cleaner takes. The bottom line: it is worth considering if wind noise is contaminating recordings from an MV88 mic, because the tailored Rycote fur cover noticeably reduces gust and ambient air noise without changing the mic's mounting or polar pattern. The build and fit are designed to match the MV88 and deliver clearer audio in light to moderate breezes.

Key Features

• Tailored fit: The windjammer is made to tailor fit the MV88 so it stays secure over the capsule and does not interfere with the mic body during handling.
• Wind noise reduction: The dense Rycote fur material helps reduce wind and air turbulence that would otherwise mask speech and instrument detail outdoors.
• Outdoor utility: Strongly recommended for recording outside, the cover improves usable takes in field interviews, run-and-gun music captures, and location voice work.
• Indoor noise control: The windscreen is also helpful in indoor situations where HVAC or ventilation airflow might distort the signal.
• Durable construction: Legendary Shure quality design and construction mean the windjammer tolerates regular use in rigorous environments.

Who It's For

The AMV88-FUR is aimed at journalists, podcasters, musicians and content creators who own an MV88 and regularly record outside or in uncontrolled indoor environments. If wind noise or HVAC air movement has forced retakes or made dialogue unusable, this windjammer is a straightforward physical fix that preserves mic placement and technique.

It is less useful for users who never record outdoors, or for those who need extreme weather protection in heavy rain or high-speed gusts; for those scenarios a full blimp or more elaborate windshield system would be more appropriate.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable, quality construction matches the rugged use expected of Shure accessories.

Cons
