Branded Handheld Windshield Pro Line – Broadcast-Ready Identification for Live Interviews
The branded handheld windshield from the Pro Line series is built for professional field production where clear speech capture and consistent on-camera identification must work together. In handheld reporting, the microphone is constantly moving: it rotates in the presenter’s hand, changes distance to the speaker, and appears in a wide range of framing conditions. A properly engineered foam windshield supports stable vocal tone while giving your brand a controlled, repeatable presence in the shot.
This product is intended for broadcast and media workflows: TV news, sports coverage, press scrums, corporate field interviews, and event moderation. The focus is not decorative branding, but practical visibility that stays readable under real production conditions, from busy mixed-light indoor venues to outdoor locations with light wind and unpredictable mic handling.
Length, shape, and handheld logic
Handheld windshields in the Pro Line can be produced in short or extended lengths (including longer versions for handheld shotgun-style setups), depending on the microphone type and the production requirement. The format is also not limited to one geometry: the same handheld brief can be executed as a cylindrical format, a 3-sided format, a 4-sided format, or as a fully custom shaped solution when a distinctive visual identity is required.
A handheld microphone is rarely held perfectly still. Reporters and presenters naturally adjust grip and angle, and guests often pull the mic closer while answering. Pro Line handheld windshields are designed around this reality: the geometry is chosen to provide defined logo surfaces that remain visible across multiple angles, while the foam body stays controlled in size so it does not dominate the frame.
Depending on the selected shape, the windshield supports a structured logo layout with predictable camera visibility. For standard branded formats, the logo count follows a clear rule: cylindrical formats typically carry two logos, 3-sided formats carry three logos (one per panel), and 4-sided formats carry four logos (one per side). It is also possible to use different logos on the same windshield or apply controlled variations of one logo when required by language, programme, or sponsor needs.
Acoustic performance for speech
In broadcast, speech clarity is the reference. The Pro Line branded handheld windshield is manufactured from professional open-cell acoustic foam designed to manage airflow at the microphone capsule. This helps reduce light wind disturbance, stabilizes breath noise, and softens plosive air bursts (such as “p” and “b” sounds) without turning speech dull or “boxed in”.
The purpose is not heavy attenuation or “extreme wind” behavior; it is controlled, natural voice reproduction in realistic handheld use. Maintaining tonal balance matters in live work because the microphone is part of a chain—preamps, mixers, wireless systems, and broadcast processing—and unnecessary coloration becomes harder to correct under time pressure.
Each windshield is manufactured for a specific microphone model to ensure correct fit and stable positioning. Accurate fit reduces unwanted movement, helps maintain consistent acoustic response, and keeps the overall setup professional during fast-paced interviews.
Branding execution and colour options
Pro Line is designed for professional branding execution rather than generic printing. Your artwork can be applied as a clean, camera-readable logo mark, with sensible scale and placement that respects framing and typical interview angles. If your workflow requires variations—such as different languages, a programme mark on one side, or a sponsor lock-up on another—this can be specified during quoting so the final layout remains consistent across a microphone fleet.
Foam colours can be produced in single-tone solutions, multi-tone designs with clear separation, or gradient transitions. For reliable consistency across batches and across multiple teams, Pantone references are recommended. If you work with a brand book that includes minimum clear space rules and preferred background colours, the windshield layout can be aligned to those constraints so the result looks intentional on camera.
Where it fits in the Pro Line ecosystem
The branded handheld windshield is a practical element of production infrastructure. It supports daily broadcast routines: quick mic handovers, changing speakers, variable camera positions, and the need to keep brand presence consistent without disrupting the editorial flow. For organisations that produce both studio content and field segments, the same visual system can be carried across shapes and lengths to maintain a unified on-screen identity.
If you are unsure which length or geometry is best for your typical framing and handling style, share your use case (news, sports, corporate, events) and your microphone model. We can then recommend a format that delivers the required visibility while keeping the on-camera footprint controlled and broadcast-appropriate.
Manufacturing and availability
Pro Line windshields are crafted by Foam Conversion (UK) Ltd, a specialist manufacturer with long-standing expertise in professional acoustic materials and broadcast supply. Line-IN.eu provides availability and support for Latvia and Lithuania, with a workflow designed for production teams that need predictable results and clear specifications.
