The Tascam WS-86 Handheld Record Windscreen is for users of Tascam Portacapture X6/X8 and DR-series recorders who need to reduce wind noise in their recordings. Its primary benefit is significantly cleaner audio in windy conditions, with a caveat that it is a passive accessory and does not eliminate all noise. This windscreen utilizes artificial fur to block high wind gusts, making it suitable for various recording environments.

The main purpose of the Tascam WS-86 is to effectively reduce wind noise when recording with compatible Tascam handheld audio recorders, especially in outdoor environments.
The WS-86 is compatible with Tascam Portacapture X8, Portacapture X6, DR-40X, DR-07XP, DR-40, DR-07, DR-44WL, DR-44WLB, and other Tascam handheld recorders with similar microphone configurations.
You can clean the WS-86 by gently brushing off dust and debris. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely before use.
While designed to minimize wind noise, any windscreen can potentially affect audio quality slightly, especially in very quiet conditions or with high frequencies. However, the WS-86 is designed to have a minimal impact on overall sound fidelity.
Yes, the WS-86 can be used with the included microphones set to either the XY or AB position.
The dimensions are 110 mm × 100 mm × 110 mm, and it weighs approximately 19 g.

Care: To maintain the effectiveness and appearance of the WS-86, clean it gently. Use a soft brush to remove dust and debris. For more thorough cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid soaking the artificial fur. Allow the windscreen to air dry completely before reattaching it to your recorder. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
