Rycote Nano-Shield Kit NS4-DB
Please Note: Microphone NOT included
The Rycote Nano Shield kits are 30% lighter and have a smaller overall footprint compared to existing windshield kits. They feature interchangeable magnetic basket halves for fast setups and mic 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 tools, and the oval blimp design with non-parallel sides provides better wind protection with less internal resonance. The kits also have large hexagonal pockets for better acoustic transparency and a slim design friction-braking swivel arm. A low profile XLR cable with built-in RF filter and switchable 80Hz low-cut is included, along with an ergonomic handle and removable/interchangeable windshield socks.
The Nano Shield kits are designed for versatility and compatibility, with a mix-n-match design that allows for different microphone sizes by swapping out basket halves. They also feature advanced Lyre mounts specifically designed for the Nano Shield kits, and no tools are needed for adjustments. The kits are compatible with various microphones, including the Audio-Technica AT 4073, DPA 4017B, Neumann KMR 81i, Rode NTG1, Sanken CS-2, Schoeps CMIT5u, Sennheiser MKH 416, and Sony ECM 670. Please note that the microphone is not included with the Nano Shield kits.
- 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.
