Modular Windshields
and Extensions
The Modular Windshield is a lightweight, durable basket made from flexible grey plastic netting with a screening material attached. Designed for use with the Modular Suspension, this system provides excellent wind-noise reduction of up to 30dB with minimal High-Frequency loss.
The modular nature allows the fitting of extension pieces to lengthen the windshield so that several microphones can be used by one kit. Various lengths of windshields and extensions are available.
A Modular Windshield is comprised of:
A Windshield body, two end caps, and in some cases extension pieces. The twist and turn locking end caps provide easy, secure and rattle-free access on both ends of the windshield. Both end caps can be removed facilitating easy placement of the microphone inside the basket.
Modular Shock Mount
with Lyre® Technology
Our suspensions provide superb isolation against handling and cable-borne noises by supporting the microphone using Lyre suspension webs. The patented Lyre combine enhanced performance, weight, and durability to attain the most advanced shock mount and suspension technology used in field applications today.
Modular Windjammer
Originally developed by Rycote, the Windjammer is a high-quality, synthetic fur-cover that provides the highest possible protection against extreme wind-noise. When using a Windjammer fitted over a Windshield, up to 50 dB of wind-noise attenuation can be achieved, producing excellent standard audio recordings. Made from materials specially designed for wind-noise isolation, the Windjammer has virtually no adverse effect on high frequencies.
Connbox
The Connbox is a unique Rycote development specifically designed to isolate and greatly reduce handling and cable-borne noise to the microphone. It acts as a transition connection that effectively inhibits cable vibration, preventing transmission to the microphone. The lengths of soft cable are set to work perfectly with the microphone fitted in the windshield without touching the internal surface of the basket, while the soft cable greatly reduces the transmission of cable-borne noise and rumble.
The Connbox is made of the highest quality components, using Gold pin Neutrik X-series XLR connectors, and an ultra-soft Mogami star-quad cable.
