Rycote Cyclone Small Windshield Kit with Lemo FVN Connector, Large Windshield, Pair of Universal Lyre

While the Cyclone Small Windshield Kit represents the pinnacle of Rycote's innovative audio solutions, it's the attention to detail that sets this product apart for audio professionals. The Cyclone range, now featuring new, smaller, and lighter models, is the epitome of next-generation wind and handling noise isolation, tailored for those who demand the highest quality in audio recording.

Constructed with the groundbreaking Gray 3D-Tex material, this advanced fabric not only presents a sleek, neutral appearance but also excels in acoustic transparency and superior wind-noise attenuation. The Cyclone's durable design is not reliant on fur, making it easy to maintain while ensuring consistent, high-quality performance in the most challenging outdoor environments.

The Cyclone Small is particularly effective for small diaphragm condenser and short shotgun microphones, offering unparalleled performance. The inclusion of a detachable Offset Link bracket with the Cyclone Small models allows for precise microphone placement through mic-axis articulation.

The Cyclone's acoustic transparency is second to none. Its innovative open shell structure, with curved contours devoid of straight or parallel surfaces, significantly diminishes room-tone effects that are common in traditional tubular windshield designs. The aerodynamically optimized asymmetric basket, coupled with the 3D-Tex material, provides a level of wind-noise reduction that rivals the performance of modular-style windshield and fur cover combinations.

For those recording in exceptionally harsh weather conditions, the optional Cyclone Windjammer can be employed to achieve wind-noise reduction that surpasses any other windshield system currently on the market.

The Cyclone's Magnetic Z-Locking System is a testament to its user-friendly design, allowing for rapid opening and closing with just one hand. This feature, along with the automatic reassembly and magnetic alignment, ensures that audio professionals can adapt swiftly to changing recording scenarios.

Rycote's industry-leading Lyre microphone suspension is at the heart of the Cyclone's Floating Basket Suspension. This patent-pending design further advances shock and handling noise isolation by providing vibration isolation between the basket and the pole, effectively minimizing handling noise at the source.

Each Cyclone size comes with a tailored basket suspension, meticulously designed to maximize vibration isolation based on the combined weight of the basket and the specified microphones. This attention to detail ensures that the Cyclone Small Windshield Kit delivers consistent performance with minimal maintenance required.

Rycote's commitment to real-world testing means that the Cyclone range has been rigorously evaluated by location sound professionals in actual recording situations. This extensive testing, combined with powerful wind machine trials, ensures that the Cyclone Small Windshield Kit excels in all conditions, even when faced with the most extreme weather scenarios.

In summary, the Cyclone Small Windshield Kit with Lemo FVN Connector, Large Windshield, and Pair of Universal Lyre is a durable, versatile, and high-quality solution for audio professionals seeking effective and innovative wind protection for their microphones. Its compatibility with a wide range of microphones makes it a top choice for those who value premium performance and reliability in their audio equipment.
