Abstract: A microphone support and enclosing windscreen has microphone supports curving about 270 degrees about an axis with upper and lower fingers to grip the microphone above and below the longitudinal axis of the microphone. The microphone supports move along an upper rail of a connector. First and second cage portions have longitudinal ribs connected to circular rings forming a windscreen support, with base rings on each cage portion connected to a bracket to encircle the microphone and its supports during use. One of the cage portions moves along the connector and rotates to allow access to the microphone.
