Remote Audio RMANK4 Rainman Boom Mic Rain Cover

Share

NOTE: This Remote Audio Rainman RMANK4 cover is fitted for Rycote's Windshield Kit 4 (designed for the Sennheiser MKH416, MKH 60, Schoeps CMIT 5U, Neumann KMR 81, Sanken CS-3e and other popular brands of similar sizing, i.e. microphones 8.3 to 11 inches long).

The Rainman softens the impact of rain drops falling onto the boom microphone. Made of a soft, lightweight batting that does not absorb water or mat up when wet, the Rainman channels rain away from the microphone, along the outside of the zeppelin style windscreen. The exterior is net material with sturdy stitching and a Velcro closure. The Rainman easily slides onto most windscreens, and is secured with Velcro.

The Rainman goes on and off quickly and easily. To install, simply slide it on with the open end at the front of the microphone then close the Velcro slot. In heavier rain, the Rainman may eventually take on water faster than it can channel it through. In this case, it may be a good idea to occasionally remove the Rainman and shake or wring the water out. With a little experience, you will get a feel for when and how often this should be done. The Rainman's effectiveness has been proven in actual production environments.

It is recommended that the Rainman be used without a furry wind cover. However, for added wind protection, a stretchy sock-type cover may be used under the Rainman.

The following improvements have been made on the Rainman:

• A water-proof hood is included
• The re-designed outer seal provides more peace-of-mind with Velcro that is super strong and durable
• Fabric technology uses minimized cell size which leads to improved breathability, moisture-wicking power and water shedding
