Mic Flag Guide: Shapes, Sizes and How to Choose
A mic flag – also called a microphone flag, mic cube, mic box or station ID flag – is the printed sleeve that sits just below the grille of a handheld microphone. It puts your station, show or brand in every shot. This guide compares the shapes and sizes we make, explains Economy and Premium flags and shows how to order.

How to choose the right size
Match the flag to the proportions of your logo. A wide logo or a set of call letters reads best on a triangle flag or a landscape rectangle. A square logo works best on a mic cube. A tall logo fits the upright 2.5 x 3 in rectangle. If you are unsure, upload your logo on the product page: the instant preview shows how it looks on each shape before you order.

Mic flag or branded windscreen?
A mic flag shows your logo below the grille and does not change the sound. A branded windscreen puts your logo on the foam cover and also reduces wind and pop noise. Many broadcasters use both.
