About Rycote Cyclone Windshield Kit

Experience the pinnacle of audio recording technology with the Large Cyclone Windshield Kit from Rycote, a leader in audio equipment for over 40 years. This professional-grade kit is designed to provide unparalleled audio transparency, wind noise reduction, and handling noise isolation, making it an essential tool for any audio professional.

The Cyclone Windshield Kit boasts a radical new design and shape, crafted from lightweight, durable materials that can withstand extreme field conditions. Its innovative 3D-Tex material offers significant wind noise reduction, eliminating the need for additional fur coverings.

The kit features a unique Basket Z-Locking design with magnetic locking, allowing for instant, one-hand microphone access. This design also ensures automatic, self-aligning basket reassembly, providing additional basket security for extreme environments and run-and-gun applications.

The Cyclone Windshield Kit is equipped with an all-new, patented Floating-Basket Suspension with Lyre technology, designed to reduce windshield basket handling noise. This industry-leading Lyre Microphone Suspension with Universal Lyre webs (19-25mm) includes spares, ensuring that your kit is always ready for action.

The kit comes with an ultra-soft, flexible Mogami cable, fitted with gold pin Neutrik xX-series XLR connectors. The output male XLR is locked in an angled position on a lightweight boom adaptor, allowing for secure attachment of internal or external pole cables and plug-on transmitters.

The Large Cyclone Windshield Kit is compatible with the optional Cyclone Windjammer for extreme wind isolation performance. This kit is the result of more than a decade of continuous development, with Rycote's design and engineering teams focusing on each component to build an all-new windshield system from the ground up.

The Cyclone Windshield Kit is designed for ease of set-up and use, with a magnetic Z-Locking System that can be opened and closed in an instant, using just one hand. Its 3D-Tex material provides enormous benefits in terms of surface turbulence and acoustic impedance.

The open shell structure, curved contours, and absence of straight or parallel surfaces reduce room-tone effects that characterize conventional tubular designs. This design, combined with state-of-the-art design tools and computer-generated simulations, results in a windshield that offers superb acoustic transparency and effective wind noise protection.

For extreme weather recording, an optional Windjammer allows for previously impossible recordings. The Cyclone Windshield Kit also incorporates Lyre technology in a Floating Basket Suspension, providing vibration isolation between the basket and pole, thus attenuating handling noise at source.

Experience the future of audio recording today with the Large Cyclone Windshield Kit from Rycote.
