Sennheiser MZW 8000 Dual-Layer Foam Windshield (Anthracite)

The Sennheiser MZW 8000 (Article Number: 502333) is a professional, broadcast-grade foam windscreen engineered specifically for Sennheiser's elite MKH 8000 series modular RF condenser microphones. Tailored for a precision fit over the low-profile MKHC 8020 (omnidirectional), MKHC 8040 (cardioid), and MKHC 8050 (supercardioid) microphone capsules, this windshield provides critical acoustic isolation without altering the capsule's flat frequency response.

Finished in a discrete, low-visibility Anthracite (dark charcoal gray) color, it minimizes visual distractions on television sets, concert stages, or film booms under high-contrast lighting.

Key Acoustic and Structural Attributes

  • Specialized Dual-Layer Foam Matrix: Features an advanced, two-stage open-cell foam layout. The outer layer acts as a coarse buffer to diffuse rapid, fast-moving ambient air currents, while the dense inner layer captures lingering micro-turbulences and sharp vocal plosives (pbt) before they can overload the ultra-sensitive RF diaphragm.

  • Acoustically Transparent Engineering: Unlike cheap generic foam covers that damp upper-register air and muddy the signal, the MZW 8000 is acoustically matched to the MKH series. It introduces negligible attenuation to high-frequency transients, preserving the microphone's signature detail up to 50 kHz.

  • Optimized Indoor HVAC and Boom Isolation: Specifically designed to counter interior wind challenges. It shields the capsule from harsh overhead air-conditioning vents and blocks rapid air rushing sounds caused by fast panning maneuvers on a boom pole during fast-paced film or interview tracking.

  • Snug Friction-Fit Barrel Alignment: The inner mounting channel is bored to match the exact 19 mm diameter of the MKH 8000 modular microphone body, providing a reliable friction-grip fit that won't slide out of place when pointed upside down or used on overhead stage suspensions.

Production Deployment and Field Care Advice

Indoor vs. Outdoor Environment Thresholds: The MZW 8000 is the ultimate baseline shield for studio work, corporate interview locations, and general indoor vocal tracking. However, it is an open-cell foam unit meant to mitigate mild air movement and sudden boom movements. If you take your MKH 8040 or 8050 outdoors into direct, high-velocity environmental winds, this foam cover will not suffice on its own. For outdoor field work, you must upgrade the capsule defense to a specialized basket windshield or slip a dedicated hairy cover (like a Rycote Windjammer) over the top.

Maintaining Foam Integrity: To avoid warping or tearing the micro-cellular foam structures, never twist or aggressively wring out the windshield when sliding it over the microphone head. Smooth it straight onto the 19 mm barrel until the capsule grille is fully covered. If the windshield accumulates stage makeup, dust, or environmental moisture after heavy field use, gently wash it by hand in lukewarm water with mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air-dry completely before sliding it back onto your microphone gear.

Last a while. Will be buying more toys soon.
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
Best dog toy I have ever bought. I have three dogs, two at the time I bought this toy. It took them over a year to break through the first layer. The flower comes off first so be careful your dog doesn't swallow it. It still has the second layer so it still looks like a cactus. No stuffing to clean up when they tear into it, which makes it far less messy than other toys. One of my dogs is obsessed with fetch so I use it like a ball inside. The oval shape makes it hard to ensure when it bounces that it will bounce straight. It's bounced into walls and other stuff that I wasn't intending it to hit. Not much of a squeak so I can let them play with it for hours and I don't get annoyed with the noise. Great toy that lasts a while.

Nice Value
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
Very cute! Its soft and feels like it is well made. It is a heavier toy and a tougher one. Not a plush toy. I will order again for our older dogs. Nice value for sure!

Great toy for our best boys!
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
You can never go wrong with BarkBox toys and this was no exception. Our dogs like toys that have squeakers and that they can tear into. This style of toy fits the bill. The design is cute as well. I’ve had this in the house for months and, while it’s definitely seen better days, it’s still intact and they haven’t gotten to the inner layer. (Not for want of trying.) The perfect type of toy for our fur babies.

Survives 7 months so far.
Color: Christmas Consuela, Size: Large Dog
It is still intact after nearly 7 months of constant play. My blue heeler normally destroys toys in just a few weeks. Consuela has exceeded expectations of survival with an extremely chewy, destruction prone dog.

Short-lived but much enjoyed as a chew toy
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
I bought two of these for my "granddogs" in the size for Large dogs. The German Shepherd-mix stole the one intended for the border collie-mix and had both toys halfway destroyed within a day--I'm pretty sure they didn't survive much longer after that. Much enjoyed! Maybe I should've bought the Extra Large size, because the Large barely fit in her mouth and she wanted to play tug-of-war, so there wasn't much for me to grab onto. Then the border collie wanted in on the action (she's older, so she needed help tugging!) but there wasn't enough material for her to grab onto without accidentally sinking her teeth into me instead.
