12cm SGM Foam & Windjammer (19/22)

Product Code: 055205

Suitable for shotgun microphones, with slots no further than 12 cm from the front of the mic.

Main Benefits:

• Using both foam and windjammer together provides up to 20dB wind and pop
• Excellent resistance to moisture and UV light from the durable, high quality open-cell acoustic foam
• The Windjammer offers a further 12 dB wind noise attenuation

The Shotgun Mic Foam is a discreet, slip-on foam windshield, designed to protect the microphone head against light wind and pop noise. Made of durable, high quality open-cell acoustic foam, these windshields offer up to 20 dB wind noise attenuation, whilst keeping high frequency loss to a minimum.
Engineered exclusively for Rycote, this high quality foam also provides excellent resistance against the damaging effects of moisture and UV light.

The Shotgun Mic Foam Windshields are supplied with a corresponding Rycote Windjammer for a further 12 dB wind noise attenuation.

12cm Short Fur Softie Black (19/22)

Product Code: 034360

SKU: RYC034360

The Short Fur Softie with its non-shedding black fur provides excellent protection from wind when capturing audio using shotgun microphones mounted on camera or boom pole.

Advanced materials, adhesives and assembly techniques all combine to make the Short Fur Softie an extremely tough product that provides excellent wind protection to withstand the harshest environments.

> More compact design, whilst offering the same wind-noise reduction as a Classic Softie®, effective use in the harshest environments.
> A short 10mm synthetic black fur offering a smaller silhouette with no compromise on wind protection, reduced reflections and non- shedding.
> Acoustic transparency -Thin-walled cavity design for acoustic transparency across the spectrum.
> Smaller profile works well with microphones on-camera or on a boom pole.
> Specially designed acoustic foam impervious to UV and moisture damage making this a trusted tool for years of effective use in the harshest environments.
> Available in a large range of sizes to fit most popular shotgun microphones.

12 cm Super-Softie (19/22)

Product Code: 033201

Slip-on Windshield with the 3D-Tex material and open-cell foam suitable for shotgun microphones only, with slots no further than 12cm from the front of the mic and a diameter of 19-22mm.

Main Benefits:

• Novel shape and 3D-Tex give greatly improved wind noise reduction compared to conventional “soft” windshields.
• A true cavity design, with superb performance at extreme low frequencies (where wind noise is worst).
• A rough-service windshield, robust enough for the most challenging news-gathering situations.
• High immunity to rain-soaking, and maintains excellent acoustic transparency in almost all situations

The Super-Softie® with our material 3D-Tex™ combines superb wind noise reduction with excellent acoustic transparency.

Excellent noise reduction and weather durability

The Super-Softie® retains the excellent wind noise reduction of a conventional cavity windshield but allies it to a novel aerodynamic shape and surface structure, and to a material – 3D-Tex™ – which combines excellent acoustic transparency with superb attenuation of wind noise. It has no rigid internal structure, so causes virtually no polar pattern distortion and is extremely robust in challenging environments such as news-gathering.

If it becomes rain-soaked it can be squeezed out and shaken dry very quickly; if it becomes coated with dust it can be rinsed quickly without affecting its performance.

The shape & structure of the Super Softie® allow it to reduce wind noise at extreme LF and infrasonic frequencies – where the greatest wind energy lies – more efficiently than previous designs.

Finding the correct slip-on windshield will depend on the type, length and diameter of the microphone. Slip-on windshields are designed for cylindrical shotgun mics, ranging from 19-25 mm in diameter.

For any windshield to work effectively it must cover all the ports on the microphone. Therefore a 12 cm slip-on windshield would be suitable for shotgun microphones, with slots no further than 12 cm from the front of the mic.

The diameter of the microphone is also key, as the fit must be tight in order to achieve a good seal. Rycote slip-on windshields come in three diameter fittings, Universal (19-25 mm), Standard (19-22 mm) or Large (24-25 mm).

15cm Classic-Softie Kit (19/22)

Product Code: 033342

Slip-on fur and open-cell foam windshield kit suitable for shotgun microphones, with slots no further than 15cm from the front of the mic and a diameter of 19-22mm.

Main Benefits:

• Cost effective windshielding which is tough enough to endure ENG and location recording
• Simple to use standard in world wide in TV
• High quality windshielding and shockmounting for an affordable price

The Softie Windshield Kit includes a Sofite Windshield, Lyre shock-mount and Pistol-grip. Together this system provides a quick, simple, robust and cost effective windshield and shock-mount for the tough environment of modern day ENG and location recording.

Softie Windshield

The Softie is a slip-on open-cell foam windshield with integral fur cover. The Softie will reduce wind-noise up to 40 dB and is the standard world wide in the broadcast industry. Softie windshields are available in a large range of sizes to fit most popular shotgun microphones.

Both the acoustic foam and synthetic fur are made from materials which are specially designed and manufactured for the purpose, and as a result offers very good wind-noise reduction without any adverse effect on High-Frequency. In addition the foam is not susceptible to UV or moisture damage, giving this product great longevity.

Advanced materials, adhesives and assembly techniques all combine to make the Softie an extremely tough product that provides excellent wind protection in the harshest of environments.

Softie Lyre Mount

This universal shock-mount, complete with Pistol-grip, uses the patented Lyre system to provide complete isolation against handling and cable-borne noises. The Softie Lyre Mount has a soft-feel grip moulded into the clip which securely holds the microphone, preventing any slipping or twisting. The Lyres are extremely robust, and virtually unbreakable, as they do not use elastic or rubber components that are prone to wear and tear.

The Softie Lyre Mount is supplied with a lightweight Pistol Grip handle. The Pistol Grip has an added element of versatility as they have a 3/8″ thread fitting for use with a boom pole. For customers who require an on-camera mount, by either hot shoe or ¼” thread, please see our InVision Video range which uses an identical Lyre mount.

The Softie Kit also comes with a 40cm Softie Cable: 3-pin XLR Gold plated, Mogami, Ultra Soft 5.0 mm cable.
