A high-quality printed windshield will help to promote your company logo and branding when used in public or via broadcast media such as TV, Radio, and (increasingly) on the Internet.

Foam Conversion has the skilled expertise and technology to offer both bespoke mic windshield manufacturing and printing. Because we can offer both windshield fabrication and printing all in-house, our clients have a turnkey 'start-to-finish' solution where Foam Conversion can offer all that is needed to create custom printed audio windshields; from design and samples, through to mass-production, printing and shipping our clients deal with one point of contact, improving efficiency and saving valuable time.

Highest Production Quality, Highest Graphical Standards

The quality of our printed microphone wind shields and mufflers speak for themselves (see the gallery of printed windshields) - multi-national corporations as well as smaller organisations have used our expertise and production services to create stunning bespoke printed windshields. Our global client list includes radio stations, TV stations, news gathering organisations, and sports and leisure companies. Our windshields have featured several times in the international and national press, and remain a superb way for our customers to continually present their brand to the public in an eye-catching but non-intrusive manner.

Windshield Shape and Design

Foam Conversion can create any microphone windshield in any shape from small tie-clip microphones and earphone covers up to large shotgun mic's shields, from a large range of professional audio foam materials (see custom microphone windshields page for more details). Some microphone foam materials may limit the possible shapes that we can manufacture, but in the main it is possible to create any shape requested.

Manufacturing Windshields to Microphone Dimensions

Foam Conversion have a large database of professional audio microphone specifications. Given that we have the external microphone dimensions (either from the client or from our records), we are able to manufacture a windshield to fit. The majority of microphones have a standard external barrel shape (with a diameter and length). A foam windshield can be made that has internal dimensions that allow a firm friction-fit to most microphones. It is also possible to create many different muffler (or windshield) shapes and designs to fit a particular microphone.

Muffler shapes can be optimised for audio quality and/or for enhanced visibility of the branding on the outside of the windshield. Foam Conversion are able to offer spherical, cylindrical, 3-sided and 4-sided windshields to optimise the exposure of you logo or printed image (for examples, see our gallery of different windshield shapes).

Manufacturing Windshields from Technical Drawings

Foam Conversion can produce a windshield from technical 2D or 3D CAD drawings of a mic cover showing the internal and external dimensions. We accept drawings in most popular CAD and 2D packages such as DXF, DWG, AutoCAD, Adobe Illustrator, EPS, PDF and others (please contact us if you have a question regarding file formats). If there are no technical drawings we can also reverse-engineer a windshield from a previous model (even if it has deteriorated, or partially fallen apart!).

Windshield Graphics and Printing

Adding Logo and Branding Graphics to Windshields
Foam Conversion offer high-quality muffler and windshield printing using a host of different windshield finishes and printing technologies to achieve the image and look required. We specialise in windshield colouring and flocking (a flocked windshield or microphone muffler gives it a brushed velvet permanent professional colour finish). Branding and graphics can be added on plain or flocked foam surfaces, and can range from a simple single or 2-colour graphic up to a full-colour range CMYK/RGB graphic.

Microphone Cover Finishes:

• Raw foam finish (we stock six basic foam colours - black, white, red, blue, green, yellow)
• Spayed colour finish (in the vast majority of instances we are able to colour match to a Pantone® Reference colour)
• Dyed colour finish
• Flocked finish (brushed velvet or nylon look)

Microphone Printing Types

• Up to 4 colour vinyl (smooth matt finish, reflective, opaque)
• Up to 4 colour flocked transfer (velour finish - looks like felt)
• Full colour vinyl print
• Sprayed logo
• Masked logo

Mic Logo File Formats

We can accept most common vector graphics and logo file formats for printing on to foam - including: AI, EPS, PDF, and CDR. We can also generate vector graphic files from a bitmap (JPG, BMP) if necessary. If there are no logo or graphic drawings, we may be able to reverse-engineer a logo or graphic (please contact us if you have a question about graphics and we will do our best to offer a solution).

Send us your graphics or logo and your choice of windshield colours and finishes, and we will be happy to quote for any volume of unique branded microphone windshields. Please feel free to call us with any questions regarding bespoke windshields or printing on to foam surfaces.
