Custom Logo Triangle Sponge Microphone Windscreen

The triangular cover for broadcast and news mics

The classic 3-sided triangular mic windscreen is the look of every breaking-news reporter standing in front of a courthouse, every sports correspondent on the touchline, every roving interviewer at a film premiere. It's the broadcast-news aesthetic that says "this is journalism, this is live, this is happening now." This is the fully custom version — your channel logo, network branding, or station call-sign on a triangular cover that fits the standard vocal mic head.

Custom-printed full colour on all three triangular faces, premium foam construction, slips over the Shure SM58 and equivalent vocal mic heads. £23.50, single-unit minimum, 2-3 working day turnaround.

Why a triangle, not a square or round cover?

• Three faces, three angles. The triangle ensures branding is visible from any camera angle without the visual clutter of a 4-sided cube — particularly clean on single-camera shots
• The broadcast news look. Triangle covers are instantly recognisable as "news/press" rather than "event/wedding" — useful if you want your content to feel journalistic
• Easier to hold steady. Three flat sides give the interviewer a natural grip orientation, vs. a round foam that can spin in shot

What you can print on it

Three independent triangular faces, each fully customisable in full colour. Common layouts:

• Same logo on all 3 — maximum recognition regardless of mic rotation
• Main brand + 2 supporting brands — for co-branded coverage (e.g. network + sponsor)
• Logo + show name + episode/programme — for specific show identification

Send vector files (SVG, AI) for crispest print. We mock up all three triangular faces and email for your approval before going to production.

Acoustic transparency

Premium foam matched to broadcast-windscreen density. Sound passes through to the mic capsule unchanged. Print is applied to the outer foam surface only; the acoustic path is preserved. Plosive rejection is actually slightly improved by the additional outer foam layer — a nice bonus for handheld news work where the reporter is in constant motion.

Who orders triangle covers

• News broadcasters & local TV stations branding their roving reporter mics
• Sports correspondents for touchline and post-match interviews
• Podcast networks wanting a "news-show" aesthetic for documentary-style interviews
• YouTube interview shows emulating broadcast-news visual language for credibility
• PR firms for client press junkets where a uniform branded mic gives editorial coherence
• Conference media teams running on-the-floor interviews at industry events

Compatibility

Designed for the Shure SM58 and equivalent ball-grille handheld vocal mics — the same mic profile that fits our standard round foam cover. If your news/broadcast team uses an unusual mic (e.g. broadcast condenser, lavalier system, or vintage RCA model), message us with the model and we'll point you at the right cover.

Durability and care

Built for daily on-the-ground broadcast use. Survives being clutched, dropped, slammed into car doors, dropped in bags, and the general life of a working reporter's kit. Spot-clean with a damp cloth between shoots. Most broadcast teams report no visible wear after a year of daily field use. Re-orders cost the same as the first print — no setup fee for repeats (helpful if you rebrand or want different versions for different shows).

Ordering and turnaround

2-3 working days standard from artwork approval. Free Royal Mail Tracked UK delivery. London same-day collection if ordered before 11am from our Spelman Street workshop. Bulk pricing kicks in at 10+ units — for newsroom-wide kit-outs or network branding refresh, message via WhatsApp for a custom quote.

What mics does it fit?

Designed for the Shure SM58 and equivalent ball-grille handheld vocal mics (Beta 58A, SM48, AKG D5, Sennheiser e835). For broadcast condenser bodies or unusual mic profiles, send the model and we'll confirm fit.

Can I have different sponsors on each of the 3 faces?

Yes — three distinct designs at no extra cost. Common for sponsored news coverage or co-branded productions.

Will it work for live broadcast on-air use?

Yes — that's exactly what it's designed for. Acoustic transparency matches broadcast-windscreen standards; plosive rejection is preserved (slightly improved, actually). UK broadcasters use these for both filmed package work and live two-ways.

How long does the print last in daily field use?

Indefinitely. The print is sublimated into the foam fibres, not surface-printed — survives daily handling, rough handling, and outdoor conditions without fading or peeling. UV exposure in storage is the only thing that gradually dulls colour.
