The 033206 Super-Softie Windshield from Rycote is a slip-on windshield made with 3D-Tex material and open-cell foam suitable for shotgun microphones only, with slots no further than 5cm from the front of the mic and a diameter of 24-25mm.
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.
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.
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.
Compatible mics include: BeyerDynamic MCE 72, Sennheiser MKH 20, Sennheiser MKH 30, Sennheiser MKH 40, Sennheiser MKH 50
