The Sennheiser MZH 60-1 is a professional long-haired "windjammer" or "dead cat" windshield designed to fit over the Sennheiser MZW60-1 blimp-style windscreen. Its primary function is to provide maximum protection against wind noise for shotgun microphones used in outdoor film, video, and location sound recording. The MZH 60-1 consists of a synthetic fur cover with long, dense fibers that slip over the foam-filled blimp. These fibers effectively dissipate the energy of wind gusts before they can strike the microphone's diaphragm, dramatically reducing low-frequency rumble and buffeting sounds that can ruin an otherwise perfect audio take. This level of wind protection is essential for recording clean dialogue and ambient sound in breezy or windy conditions.

The design is tailored for a secure and precise fit on the MZW60-1 blimp, ensuring it stays in place during movement and does not contact the internal microphone, which could create its own noise. The long hair provides superior wind attenuation compared to standard foam covers, making it suitable for use in moderate to strong winds. Despite its effectiveness, the fur is acoustically transparent, meaning it has minimal impact on the microphone's frequency response and does not muffle high-frequency details. The windshield is lightweight and adds minimal bulk, preserving the balance of the microphone and blimp assembly on a boom pole.

As a B-Stock item, the MZH 60-1 offers the full performance and durability of a new windshield but may have minor cosmetic imperfections or come without retail packaging. It represents a valuable accessory for location sound mixers, videographers, and broadcast engineers who rely on Sennheiser shotgun microphones in unpredictable outdoor environments. When used as part of a complete wind protection system (blimp + furry cover), it enables professionals to capture usable, high-quality audio even in challenging weather conditions, ensuring that wind noise does not compromise the production value of their work.
