Made to offer the wind attenuation properties of a full sized windshield in a much smaller package, the BBG Windshields are designed to slip onto the body of the microphone. This allows the microphone to be hand-held or shock-mounted with a Lyre suspension.

Perfect for short microphones, the BBG Windshield are suitable for low-profile boom applications as well as for use in hand-held operations and interviews. They are widely used for microphones with bulbous ends and ORTF microphone pairs, where the maximum head diameter is 80 mm.

The windshield is constructed of the same material as the full size modular windshields, but rather than clipping to a microphone suspension, the Windshield is mounted directly on the microphone, by a grommet gripping the microphone body. The microphone is pushed through the grommet, to completely enclose the microphone capsule.

The Windshield consists of two halves, which can be separated, to fit microphones with a ball-head or tapered body from inside the windshield. For additional wind protection a furry Windjammer cover is available.

The Hi Wind Cover is designed to fit the Modular Windshield Kit to offer up to 35dB in wind noise reduction. It is manufactured from a durable black fleece material and is easy to fit in the field by simply sliding it over the Windshield basket, secured in place with Velcro pads.

The windjammer is a high quality synthetic fur-cover, which provides the highest possible protection against extreme wind-noise. When using a windjammer fitted over a windshield up to 50dB of wind-noise attenuation can be achieved, producing excellent standard audio recordings.

Rycote 086004 full windshield kit 1 - Includes small modular suspension + windshield 1 + windjammer 1 rycote_086004 / RYC086004. The Modular Windshield Kit is the professionals' choice when maximum isolation from wind and handling noise is required.This complete modular system can be configured to allow almost any microphone to be shock-mounted and provided with varying degrees of windshielding. Components may be ordered separately, or as one of a series of kits, which simplify the selection process for many common configurations.A Modular Windshield Kit is comprised of the following three main components: Modular Suspension, Modular Windshield and Windjammer.

Modular Suspension
Our suspensions provides complete isolation against handling noise and cable-borne noises, by supporting the microphone in a cradle arrangement using Lyre suspension webs.

Windshield
The Windshield basket completely surrounds the microphone and its connector, sliding onto the Modular Suspension to provide up to 30dB of wind noise attenuation. This is the first layer of windshielding protection for your microphone.
The Windjammer introduced.

This cost-effective windshielding system is tough enough to withstand the harsh conditions of modern day recording, making it a popular choice in the TV industry worldwide. The kit includes a 5cm Softie Windshield, Lyre shock-mount and Pistol-grip, providing a quick and simple solution for wind protection and shock absorption. The Softie Windshield is a slip-on open-cell foam with an integral fur cover, reducing wind noise by up to 40 dB. It comes in a variety of sizes to fit most popular shotgun microphones. Both the acoustic foam and synthetic fur used in the Softie are specially designed and manufactured for this purpose, ensuring excellent wind-noise reduction without affecting high-frequency sound. The foam is also resistant to UV and moisture damage, ensuring the longevity of the product. The Softie Lyre Mount, which comes with a lightweight Pistol Grip handle, uses patented Lyre technology to provide complete isolation against handling and cable-borne noises. The grip securely holds the microphone in place, preventing any slipping or twisting. The Lyres are extremely durable and virtually unbreakable, making them a reliable choice for any recording environment.
