Under the umbrella of professional audio equipment, the Rycote XLR-5F Windshield 6 Kit stands out as an innovative and comprehensive solution for stereo microphones. Specifically designed for microphones ranging from 351mm to 400mm in length and 19-34mm in diameter, this kit is equipped with a 5-pin XLR connector, making it a versatile choice for various microphone models.
The Modular Windshield Kit is a high-quality, durable system favored by professionals who require maximum isolation from wind and handling noise. This effective kit offers a modular system that can be customized to accommodate almost any microphone. It provides a shock-mount and varying degrees of windshielding, ensuring optimal audio recording quality in diverse conditions.
The kit includes a Modular Suspension, which offers complete isolation from handling noise and cable-borne noises. This is achieved by cradling the microphone using Lyre suspension webs, a testament to the product's innovative design.
The included Windshield basket fully encases the microphone and its connector, sliding onto the Modular Suspension for seamless integration. This component provides up to 30dB of wind noise attenuation, serving as the first layer of wind shielding protection for your microphone.
Further enhancing the kit's effectiveness is the Windjammer, a high-quality synthetic fur cover introduced by Rycote in 1985. Designed to fit perfectly over the Modular Windshield, the Windjammer provides an additional 20dB of wind noise attenuation. It is fitted with a drawstring and toggle for snug and easy fitting.
For those seeking a comprehensive solution, Modular Windshield Kits, including a zipped Windjammer, are available on request. This Rycote XLR-5F Windshield 6 Kit is a testament to the brand's commitment to providing professional, high-quality audio recording solutions.
