Microphone Accessories

The Rycote CA-08 (Stereo Pair) is a pair of cardioid pencil condenser microphones designed for a range of applications in studio and field recording.

The CA-08 microphones provide slight directionality with a virtually flat frequency response from 70Hz-20KHz, gradually dropping off below 60Hz. The mics are built on Rycote’s low self-noise preamp design and capsules which offer a consistent sonic signature that mixes well when cut together with other Rycote microphones in the
range. The CA-08 mics can be used individually or in matched stereo pairs.

Classic Adaptor for PCS-Boom Connector

The Classic Adaptor for PCS-Boom Connector (Connector not supplied), is the neatest, lightest and simplest way to integrate the Rycote Professional Connection System into your existing Rycote windshield kit. The Classic Adaptor replaces your kit’s existing boom adaptor and has a built-in, fixed PCS tip, along with a unique new XLR holder with 360° adjustability.

1 x Classic Adaptor for PCS-Boom Connector

1 x XLR Holder (pre-fitted)

Main Benefits:

Simplest way to integrate the Rycote PCS quick attachment/quick release functionality into your existing Rycote windshield kit

• Smaller and lighter – compared to using the existing boom adaptor with a separate 3/8” PCS Tip attached

• Built-in PCS tip means your windshield is always ‘PCS-ready’ and there’s one less moving/removable part to think about!

• With a fixed PCS tip, as opposed to threaded on, it is always in perfect alignment with the windshield kit itself

• Unique XLR holder which allows for 360 degree rotation, so you can easily choose & change where the XLR sits, relative to the mount

• XLR holder designed with a slight ‘kick angle’ to help better accommodate the use of plug-in transmitters at the end of the boom

• Compatible with Rycote Modular and Pre-Modular Windshield Kits; Super-Shield Kits; ‘Perfect For’ Windshield Kits; Classic-Softie® Kits and other Rycote mounts fitted with a boom adaptor (replacing the existing boom adaptor or pistol grip handle)

• Easy to fit
