Description
The Softie Mount, used with the Softie Windshield provides a fast, flexible and cost effective solution for ENG use and forms a robust and practical windshield (70mm in diameter) which can be effectively used without the mount in handhels operation mode.

The Softie Windshield & Shockmount system comprises of the following:

Softie Windshield
The Softie Windshield is a slip on open cell foam, with an integral fitted fur cover. The Softie will reduce wind noise and protect your microphone, and is the standard world-wide in TV. Available in a large range of sizes to fit most popular microphones.

Softie Mount
The mount is a simple but effective. The mount comes in 3 sizes, dependant on the diameter of your microphone. The attachment below the mount is then determined by the intended use of the mount, for example Pistol grip handle, boom pole adaptor or the Multi Mount for use on a camcorders hotshoe.

The main component of the Softie mount is a one piece rubber (actual material: EPDM) diaphragm shockmount. This unit is extremely robust, and has been tested in all environment conditions to ensure it performs.

The Softie Mount comes in three sizes, depending on which microphone being used.
Small Hole 19-20mm diameter
Medium Hole 21-22mm diameter
Large Hole 24-25mm diameter

The mounts are 58mm diameter x 56mm long, and support short to medium length shotgun microphones. Please use the ''Quick Product Finder'' to see what size you need for your mic. The Softie mount will only fit shotgun microphones, which are cylindrical in shape (the same diameter though their whole length). We can not mount microphones that taper, with the Softie mount.

The longest Softie Windshields have an internal bore of 32cm (12-1/2'') - Example:AKG CK68 or Audio Technica AT815b. These are the longest microphones we would recomend using a Softie Mount for, simply because the mount is flexible & cannot support longer mics. For longer mics, we would only recomend a Full Windshield System, and a Modular suspension.

Device Compatibility

  1. shure VP82
    Compact and lightweight, with wide aperture and excellent off-axis rejection, the VP82 is the affordable and reliable choice for camera-mounted A / V media production applications. For use in sound capture and sound reinforcement.
  2. neumann KMR 81i
    The KMR 81 is a shotgun microphone with a high directivity that remains within the acceptance angle independent of frequency. The advantage is that a sound source, for example, an actor on stage - will not change its apparent tonal balance when moving within this area. The KMR 81 has been specifically designed for electronic news gathering.
  3. røde NTG-4+
    Building on the popularity and acceptance of the RØDE NTG2, the NTG4+ features an all-new condenser capsule with low noise, high sensitivity and the convenience of on-board equalisation/level control via digital switching.

    The NTG4+ is the very first microphone to feature an in-built battery that provides 150+ hours of operation with the convenience of USB charging.

  4. audiotechnica AT 897
    Specifically designed for video production and broadcast audio. It has a short body to allow it to be used on compact cameras. When powered by an internal battery the sensitivity is reduced (8.9mV/Pa), and MAX SPL is 115dB SPL.
  5. shure VP89S
    The VP89 is a professional shotgun condenser microphone for use in critical broadcast and media production applications.

It provides all of the features of its analog counterpart, which made it a favorite of sound engineers in movie and documentary productions. Additionally it offers the advantages of the digital circuit technology, such as extended dynamic range, a more robust operation (EMC safe) and the avoidance of clipping as a result of the integrated peak limiter/compressor. 
     
    The settings for all functions can be recalled, set and stored in the microphone by using one of the digital microphone interfaces.
