Rycote Super Softie Windshield, Various Lengths

Share

The Super Softie is a slip-on microphone windshield made from Rycote's new revolutionary 3D-Tex™ fabric covering for unparalleled sonic performance, wind noise suppression and field durability. Available in a variety of sizes (5, 12, 15, and 18cm) and suitable for either microphone diameters of 19/22 (Standard Hole) or 24/25mm (Large Hole).

3D-Tex™ contributes to amazing noise reduction by both its layered internal structure and its surface texture. It retains its acoustic properties even under adverse conditions. If 3D-Tex™ becomes rain-soaked, it can be squeezed out and shaken dry very quickly. If it becomes coated with dust, it can be rinsed quickly without affecting its performance.

The Super Softie combines excellent acoustic transparency with superb attenuation of wind noise. With no rigid internal structure, it has virtually no polar pattern distortion and is extremely robust in challenging environments such as news-gathering. Its shape and structure allow it to reduce wind noise at extreme LF and infrasonic frequencies–where the greatest wind energy lies–more efficiently than pevious designs. The initial noise reduction can be in excess of 30 dB and acoustic artifacts are extremely low.

Rycote Super Softie - Features:

• Novel shape and 3D-Tex™ give greatly improved wind reduction compared to conventional "soft" windshields
• Same diameter as Classic Softie, but with far greater performance
• A true cavity design, with superb performance at extreme low frequencies (where wind noise is worst)
• Extremely durable and robust enough for the most challenging ENG and reality-TV applications
• High immunity to rain-soaking and maintains excellent acoustic transparency in almost all situations
