Rycote Modular Windshield WS 8 Kit

Rycote Modular Windshield WS 8 Kit

Please Note: Microphone is NOT included.

The Modular Suspension is a versatile four point elastic suspension system that provides complete support for microphones in a cradle arrangement. It can be used as is, with a foam gag, or combined with a Windshield & Windjammer for added protection.

The Modular Windshield, launched in 2004, is a zeppelin-shaped cover that slides onto the Modular Suspension and completely encloses the microphone and its connector. It effectively shields the microphone from wind noise while minimizing any impact on sound quality. The Windjammer, also launched with the Modular Windshield, is designed to fit over the Windshield for maximum wind protection. The Modular Windshield system is available in various sizes as a complete kit, including the Modular Suspension, Modular Windshield, and Windjammer.

Modular Suspension

Equipped with both a boom adaptor and a pistol grip handle and a range of clips and O-rings to provide a custom fit. The microphone clips supplied allow you to hold microphones with 19/20mm, 21/22mm, 24/25mm diameters and Sennheiser MKH mics too.

Easy to customise the mount to accommodate different styles of use, including the use of foam gags, without obstruction.

Three standard mono versions, each with a different length bar (1 module, 2 module and 3 module) but with all other components shared.

Stereo suspensions available to fit a wide variety of stereo pairs, single shank stereo microphones, and stereo capsule microphones.

Improved components make handling and usage easier in difficult conditions.

Range of accessories available including the Connbox and the MS/XY Cage.

Modular Windshield

Designed to provide significant improvement in exterior wind attenuation (up to 25dB).

Manufactured from flexible grey plastic netting tube with a screening material attached by special process, providing lightweight strength and durability.

Twist and turn locking end caps provide easy, rattle free and secure fastening.

Unique slide-on/slide-off system allows easy removal of the microphone and suspension.

Mono Windshields have an outside diameter of 100mm (4”), and stereo windshields are 145mm (5-3/4”). The microphone used determines the length of the Windshield.

Windjammer

The most effective cover, providing 10 –12db extra protection over a standard Windshield.

Made from specially designed and manufactured screening materials with virtually no adverse effect on sound level or quality.

Fitted with a drawstring & toggle to allow snug and easy fitting.
