Rycote Cyclone Windshield Kit, Large

Share

The Cyclone features breakthrough advancements in wind and shock isolation performance. A unique "multi-suspension" design provides complete isolation against all forms of handling noise. Outstanding shock protection is provided by the Rycote patented Lyre Microphone Suspension System, plus the all-new Floating-Basket Suspension with Lyre® Technology (patent pending) that provides isolation between the basket structure and the microphone suspension.

A two-piece, Z-Locking design magnetically affixes the basket around the microphone for instant and secure attachment to, or detachment from, the suspension. Increased transparency is achieved due to the cone-like shape, that vastly reduces reflective parallel surfaces, and this unique design of the basket gives superior wind-noise protection with Rycote's 3D-Tex fabric and without the need for a fur Windjammer. Package includes Cyclone Suspension (fitted with 72-shore Universal Lyres), Cyclone cable (fitted) with Cyclone XLR holder, Large Cyclone Windshield (left and right sections), pair of Universal Lyres 62-shore for lightweight microphones, and Hex key driver for adjustment of Lyres.

The Rycote Cyclone is ideal for popular shotgun mics such as Schoeps CMIT-5U, Sennheiser MKH 416, Sanken CS-3e, Neumann KMR-81i, Rode NTG-3 and more.
