While the Cyclone Small Windshield Kit with MZL Connector, Large Windshield, and Pair of Universal Lyre is a compact and lightweight solution, it delivers professional-grade performance for audio professionals. This advanced system from the reputable brand Rycote, renowned for its high-quality audio and video equipment, offers next-generation wind and handling noise isolation.
The Cyclone models are enveloped in an innovative 3D-Tex material, which not only enhances the product's durability but also significantly improves its performance. This material, in its advanced gray variation, offers excellent acoustic transparency and superior attenuation of wind noise.
The Cyclone Small model is versatile, accommodating a wide range of microphone sizes, from compact condenser to shotgun. This makes it a valuable addition to any audio professional's toolkit. The open shell structure of the Cyclone, devoid of straight or parallel surfaces, minimizes room-tone effects that are common in conventional tubular windshield designs.
The unique design of the Cyclone shifts the bulk to the basket front, creating an aerodynamically efficient asymmetric basket. This, combined with the 3D-Tex material, reduces surface turbulence and acoustic impedance, resulting in a significant reduction in wind noise. For extreme weather conditions, an optional Cyclone Windjammer can be added for unparalleled wind-noise reduction.
The Cyclone also features a Magnetic Z-Locking System for quick and easy one-handed operation. The Lyre microphone suspension is incorporated into a Floating Basket Suspension, providing superior shock isolation. This innovative design reduces handling noise at the source, ensuring clear, high-quality audio capture.
The Cyclone's maintenance is straightforward, thanks to the 3D-Tex material. Simple dusting after mild use or rinsing and air drying after heavy use will ensure consistent performance for years.
The Cyclone Small Windshield Kit has been rigorously tested in real-world conditions by location sound professionals, ensuring its performance in all conditions. For extreme weather recording, the optional Windjammer allows for previously impossible recordings.
In summary, the Cyclone Small Windshield Kit with MZL Connector, Large Windshield, and Pair of Universal Lyre is a durable, high-quality, and versatile solution for professional audio capture. Its innovative design and advanced materials ensure superior performance, making it an essential tool for any audio professional.
