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.

The Softie Windshield provides a quick, simple, robust and cost effective windshield for the tough environment of modern day ENG and location recording.

The Softie Windshield is a slip-on open-cell foam, with integral fur cover. The Softie will reduce wind-noise, protect your mic and is the standard world wide in TV. 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 up to 25 dB of 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.

The Softie Windshield can be purchased either on its own, or as part of a Kit, which includes a Windshield, Lyre shock-mount and Pistol-grip.

Softie Windshields come in two varieties of fur length, classic and short hair. The short haired Softie, known as the Camera-Mounted Softie has closely cropped dark grey synthetic fur, offers lower profile and a more compact design without severely altering the efficiency of the Softie. It can also be mounted close to the camera lens without causing unwanted shadows.

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.

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.

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.

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.
