Rycote Softie windscreen 14cm stand

General

Rycote´s Softie is a user-friendly slip-on windshield that's made of acoustic foam and synthetic fur. You can easily slide the windscreen over the microphones, so that all apertures are covered, creating a space in which there's no moving air. This way, wind and noise are effectively reduced, and your microphone is adequately protected. The Softie is an industry standard for TV recordings all around the world.

Softie: available in different sizes

The Softie comes in 9 different lengths - for any popular shotgun microphone, there’s 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 14 cm, with a maximum diameter of 19 to 22 mm.

40dB wind reduction

The acoustic foam as well as the synthetic fur are designed specifically for wind protection, resulting in a wind noise suppression of up to 40 dB that does not have any deleterious effect on the HF range. As the foam is UV and moisture protected, it will last you a long time! A special rubber end cap allows for secure fastening. The Softie is a super durable product, that offers perfect protection under extreme weather circumstances.
