Product Description

The Rion WS-15 Outdoor Microphone Protection System is practical, simple and effective, providing all the protection that Rion microphones and pre-amplifiers need against the elements. With hundreds of WS-15s being used 24/7, every day of the year in the UK, the protection provided by the WS-15 is totally site-proven.

Applying weather protection to meters’ standard microphone represents a significant cost saving when compared to meters that have to be used with a separate outdoor microphone for long-term surveys/monitoring.

The Rion WS-15 is the most widely used and accepted outdoor windshield for wind turbine noise assessments in the UK and Ireland.

The Rion WS-15 (used with the Rion NL-53 or NL-52) complies with the IOA Good Practice Guide for Windfarm Noise and Supplementary Guidance Note 1 because it is certified by the manuafacturer to achieve the relevant specifications for BS EN IEC 61672-1 and the insert loss/gain is no greater than 1 dB in any octave band from 63Hz – 4000 Hz (inclusive).
