Rycote Nano-Shield Kit NS1-BA

Rycote Nano-Shield Kit NS1-BA

Please Note: Microphone NOT included

The Nano Shield kits from Rycote are the latest and most advanced windshield kits on the market. They are 30% lighter than existing Modular windshield kits and have a smaller overall footprint. The kits feature interchangeable magnetic basket halves for fast setups and microphone swaps, as well as redesigned and patented Lyre mounts that offer improved handling noise reduction. These Lyre mounts can be adjusted or swapped out without the need for any tools, making setup and adjustments quick and easy. The oval blimp design with non-parallel sides offers better wind protection and less internal resonance, while the large hexagonal pockets provide better acoustic transparency and less high frequency loss. The kits also feature a slim design friction-braking swivel arm, low profile XLR cable with built-in RF filter and switchable 80Hz low-cut, and an ergonomic handle with built-in PCS quick release. The Nano Shield kits also come with removable/interchangeable windshield socks and a reversible XLR holder for compatibility with various microphones.

Rycote has pushed the boundaries with the Nano Shield kits, creating a mix-n-match design that allows for easy customization to fit different microphone sizes. The advanced Lyre mounts have been specifically redesigned for the Nano Shield kits and offer improved performance. The Lyre mounts and mounting bar can be adjusted, repositioned, or swapped out with the simple use of a thumbwheel. These features, along with the smaller and lighter design, make the Nano Shield kits the go-to choice for professionals in need of high-quality wind protection and acoustic transparency. Please note that the microphone is not included and the Nano Shield kits are compatible with various microphones, such as DPA 4018C, NEUMANN KM 100 SERIES, SANKEN CS-M1, SCHOEPS CMC-1 with CUT 1 or CUT 60, and SENNHEISER MKH 8040/MZX* and MKH 8050/MZX*.

• Mix-n-Match Design – The Nano Shield kits use a unique magnetic locking basket design which can be configured to fit various microphone sizes by simply swapping out basket halves.
• Advanced Lyre Mounts – Rycote has advanced their patented Lyre mount and redesigned them specifically for the Nano Shield kits.
• No Tools Required – The Lyre mounts and mounting bar on the Nano Shield can be adjusted, repositioned or swapped out by loosening / tightening the thumbwheel attached to the bar.

Rycote has pushed their windshield kits to another level with the creation of the Nano Shield. Although the blimp shape may look familiar from afar, a closer look reveals several new design and engineering features that make it Rycote’s most advanced windshield kit yet. The Nano Shield offers an enhanced level of wind protection paired with improved acoustic transparency. The kits are smaller and on average weigh 30% lighter than Modular Windshield Kits. The new advanced Lyre mounts are also more compliant and offer better handling noise reduction. Overall the Nano Shield Kits raise the bar for performance and versatility.
