Rycote's Softie windscreen is an industry standard for TV recordings. This slip-on is made of acoustic foam and synthetic fur, and is easy to use. You can easily slide the windscreen over the microphones, so that all apertures are covered, creating a space in which there's no moving air. This way, wind and noise are effectively reduced, and your microphone is adequately protected. Softie: available in different sizes The Softie comes in 9 different lengths - for most popular shotgun microphones you can find a Softie windshield. We often see the Softie in combination with directional, condenser, ribbon or camera microphones, for instance. There are two different diameters available - 19-22 mm and 24-25 mm - and two types of fur (standard and short). This product features the standard version for microphones that are shorter than 18 cm, with a maximum diameter of 19 to 22 mm. 40dB wind reduction The acoustic foam as well as the synthetic fur are designed specifically for wind protection, resulting in a wind noise suppression of up to 40 dB that does not have any deleterious effect on the HF range. As the foam is UV and moisture protected, it will last you a long time! A special rubber end cap allows for secure fastening. The Softie is a super durable product, that offers perfect protection under extreme weather circumstances.
