This is an important accessory to use with the M88TG. That mic is a useful alternative on kick drums inside the shell but the pressure wave is capable of damaging the diaphragm, unless you use this windshield. This is the one Beyerdynamic recommends, for good reason because it offers total protection to the head of the mic. For recording vocals you hear every pop and noise, this shield will reduce this problem to where you won't notice. It's big and bulky so it may look strange at first but its form follows its function - it gives the best performance and protection in those roles. Well worth owning if you use the M88 or M69. The reason I reduced one star is for the bulk which may make it difficult to handle, but it secures properly to the microphone and won't come loose
