The Softie comes in 9 different lengths - for most popular shotgun microphones you can find a Softie windshield. We often see the Softie in combination with directional, condenser, ribbon or camera microphones, for instance. There are two different diameters available - 19-22 mm and 24-25 mm - and two types of fur (standard and short). This product features the standard version for microphones that are shorter than 12 cm, with a maximum diameter of 19 to 22 mm.
