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.

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.

The perfect solution for protecting your shotgun microphone from light wind and pop noise. This discreet, slip-on foam windshield is designed to fit shotgun microphones with slots no further than 5cm from the front of the mic.Made of durable, high quality open-cell acoustic foam, offering up to 20 dB wind noise attenuation while minimizing high frequency loss. This makes it an essential accessory for outdoor recording, ensuring that your audio remains clear and crisp even in windy conditions.

The Modular Windshield WS 2 Kit is suitable for small diaphragm condenser microphones from 121mm up to 160mm in length with a 19-25mm diameter and a 3-Pin XLR connection.

Super-Softie®
The Super Softie® is a completely new approach to the slip-on windshield. The new shape & open cell structure along with specially designed 3D-Tex™ material provides increased wind attenuation performance compared to conventional slip-on designs. It also achieves improved attenuation in extreme low frequencies and infrasonic frequencies protecting captured audio where wind noise is at its greatest.

3D-Tex™ Material
The Super Softie® windshield is designed with 3D-Tex™, a specially designed new material that combines enhanced acoustic transparency with outstanding attenuation of wind noise without the use of fur. This new material covers an open-cell foam structure rather than a rigid internal chassis to yield virtually no polar pattern distortion.

Ease of Maintenance
The Super-Softie® can be quickly squeezed out and shaken dry when rain-soaked, or rinsed when dust-coated without affecting its performance. This extremely robust design will sustain excellent performance for years of use in challenging environments such as news-gatherings.

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.
