Custom Microphone Foam Windscreen Cover

The universal foam cover that started it all

This is the original — our most-ordered product, the £16 custom foam that fits the Shure SM58 and the dozens of equivalent vocal microphones in everyday UK use. It's the cover most weddings buy. Most churches buy. Most comedy nights buy. Most small venues buy. If you don't know what mic your venue uses, this is the cover you want — it fits the safe bet.

Custom-printed full colour on premium foam, slips over the mic head in seconds, production is 1–2 working days after artwork approval, no minimum order. There is no other £16 you can spend on branding that earns its keep on every speech, song, set, or sermon for the next several years.

Why a foam cover is the cheapest visual upgrade you can make

• It's the only part of the mic that's always in shot. The cable is usually hidden. The stand is below the speaker. The body of the mic is gripped or stand-mounted. The foam is always centred on screen.
• It costs less than a tablecloth. Compared to backdrops, signage, or branded mic stands, a foam cover is roughly 1-2% of the cost for arguably more visible branding.
• It survives years of use. One £16 cover lasts hundreds of events. The ROI compounds every time the mic comes out.

What mics does it actually fit?

Designed for the Shure SM58 — the most-used handheld vocal mic in the UK by an order of magnitude. It also fits the SM58S, SM48, Beta 58A (snug), AKG D5, Sennheiser e835 / e845, Audio-Technica AE6100, and most equivalent ball-grille handheld vocal mics. If your mic has a roughly spherical wire-mesh ball at the head, this cover will fit. For unusual or vintage mics (RE20, MD421, Heil PR40 etc.) we have dedicated listings — message us if you're unsure.

What you can print on it

Anything: full-colour logo, business name, wedding hashtag, monogram, sponsor lockup, charity emblem, or a custom illustration. Send a vector (SVG, AI) if you have one — high-res PNG is fine too. We email you a free mockup before printing so you can approve the position, colour, and crop. The print itself is sublimated into the foam fibres, so it doesn't peel or crack with handling. UV exposure (sitting in a sunny window for months) is the only thing that will gradually dull the colour.

Who orders these

• Weddings — couples' initials + date on the speeches mic, ordered 1-2 covers ~3 weeks pre-wedding
• Churches — denomination name or cross on the pulpit/handheld vocal mic, livestream-friendly
• Comedy clubs & open mics — club name on the foam, ends up in every Instagram clip of every set
• Corporate events — AGMs, all-hands, town halls, awards nights
• Schools & universities — Q&A panels, freshers' events, debating societies, theatre productions
• Charities — fundraising galas, auctions, donor evenings, awareness campaigns
• Bands & musicians — band name on the mic for every gig photo

Acoustic transparency preserved

The foam is matched to broadcast-standard windscreen density — it adds protection from plosives and breath noise without changing how the mic sounds. Slips on over the existing mic grille; the OEM windscreen underneath continues to do its job. The print is applied to the outer surface only and doesn't affect the acoustic path.

Durability and care

These covers are made for daily and weekly venue use. They survive being passed between hands during speeches, tossed in mic cases, gripped by sweaty performers, and the general abuse of live events. Spot-clean with a damp cloth between events; avoid soaking or machine-washing. Most clients report their cover still looks new 2-3 years in.
