Rycote ORTF Windshield Kit for Schoeps CCM Pair Mics, Includes ORTF Suspension, AE Windshield, Fitted Mic Windshield, LEMO Connbox

A revolutionary advancement in audio recording technology, the ORTF Windshield Kit for Schoeps CCM Pair Mics, is an innovative product by Rycote, a brand synonymous with high-quality audio equipment. This kit is a tribute to the ORTF stereo recording technique, a brainchild of French state broadcaster engineers in the 1960s. This technique employs a stereo pair of microphones, positioned 17cm apart and angled at 110 degrees to each other, creating a unique and immersive audio experience.

The Rycote ORTF Windshield Kit is meticulously designed to accommodate matched pairs of Schoeps CCM or Sennheiser MKH 8000 mics. The kit includes a robust Lyre suspension, a secure cable clamp, and a 145mm Stereo Windshield & Windjammer. These components are large enough to comfortably house the microphones, ensuring their protection and optimal performance.

The kit also features a specially designed Rycote mounting adapter bar. This bar maintains the correct spacing and angle for ORTF recording, ensuring the integrity of the audio capture. The Lyre suspension and shared windshield work in harmony to provide a solution that is highly resistant to wind noise and unwanted vibrations, such as those caused by cable handling.

For those seeking additional protection against cable-borne noise, variants of the ORTF kit are available with a Rycote Connbox. The first variant includes a Connbox with Lemo connectors, designed specifically for use with Schoeps CCMs. The second variant features MZL connectors, compatible with Sennheiser MKH8000 mics.

The kit is available in three variants, two of which come with a Connbox (Lemo for Schoeps CCM or MZL for Sennheiser MKH 8020, 8040, or 8050). The 5-pin XLR output Connbox uses detachable Binder cables, with a 130 mm tail - available with either MZL or Lemo connectors.

In essence, the ORTF Windshield Kit for Schoeps CCM Pair Mics is a versatile, professional, and durable solution for capturing high-quality audio in diverse settings. It's an essential tool for any audio professional seeking to elevate their recording capabilities.
