About Rycote Cyclone Windshield Set

For audio professionals seeking innovative and high-quality equipment, the Cyclone Windshield Section Set, Small, is a game-changer. This state-of-the-art windshield system is designed for today's demanding audio environments, offering an unprecedented reduction in wind and handling noise.

The Cyclone Windshield features an open shell structure with curved contours and no straight or parallel surfaces, a revolutionary design that significantly minimizes the room-tone effects typically associated with conventional tubular designs. This ensures crystal clear sound, making it an ideal choice for film and television production, live events, and any application where superior audio quality is paramount.

One of the standout features of this durable windshield system is its Magnetic Locking System. This robust, magnetized, two-piece basket design allows for instant windshield assembly and disassembly, enhancing the user experience with its simplicity and efficiency.

The Cyclone Windshield is also equipped with 3D-Tex, a material that greatly enhances wind noise reduction compared to conventional windshields. This innovative material, coupled with the product's tough weather resistance, ensures high immunity to rain-soaking and maintains excellent acoustic transparency in almost all situations.

The Cyclone introduces a unique "multi-suspension" design that provides complete isolation against handling noise, cable-borne noises, and windshield basket self-noise. This design, enhanced by the patented Rycote Lyre Suspension Webs and the new Rycote Floating-Basket Suspension with Lyre Technology, provides a unique isolation barrier that inhibits noise and vibration from being mechanically transmitted to the primary suspension.

The windshield basket design incorporates a magnetic Z-Locking System that can be operated with just one hand. This system allows the windshield sides to snap into perfect alignment, ensuring optimal performance. The cone-like shape of the windshield increases transparency and reduces reflective parallel surfaces and "room effect".

The Cyclone Windshield Section Set, Small, is not only versatile and compatible with a variety of shotgun microphones, but it also offers superior wind-noise reduction, exceeding the performance of modular-style windshield/windjammer combinations. Covered in durable 3D-Tex, this windshield system combines excellent acoustic transparency with superb attenuation of wind noise, making it a reliable choice for all your outdoor audio recording needs.
