Super-Softie

The Super-Softie® features our new 3D-Tex® material for best-in-class wind noise reduction with superior acoustic transparency.

The Super-Softie® is a completely new approach to the slip-on windshield.
Unlike conventional slip-on fur windshields, the Super-Softie® sports a unique aerodynamic shape with specially designed 3D-Tex® material. This introduces a new level of wind performance reduction with unparalleled durability, ease of maintenance and long-term reliability.

New design with superior performance
 

The shape & structure of the Super-Softie® improves upon standard slip-on windshield designs with an entirely new shape and structure. Superb wind attenuation performance along with improved attenuation with extreme low-frequencies and infrasonic frequencies protects captured audio where wind noise is at its greatest. 

Featuring 3D-Tex®

The Super-Softie® windshield is designed with 3D-Tex®, a specially designed new material for Rycote which combines enhanced acoustic transparency with outstanding attenuation of wind noise. With its open-cell foam design with no rigid internal chassis, it yields virtually no polar pattern distortion. Extremely robust, the Super-Softie will sustain excellent performance for years of dedicated use in challenging environments such as news-gathering.

Ready to go.
Wherever you need to be.

Breaking news and sporting events rarely wait for inclement weather to pass.

The Super-Softie® can be quickly and conveniently squeezed out and shaken dry when rain-soaked, or rinsed when dust-coated without affecting its performance. This unsurpassed flexibility and performance makes the Super-Softie ready to go – wherever you need to be.

If you’re kitting out a new Super-Softie, look no further than the InVision Softie Lyre Mount with Pistol Grip.
