Rycote Nano-Shield Kit NS5-DC

Rycote Nano-Shield Kit NS5-DC

Please Note: Microphone NOT included

Rycote has pushed their windshield kits to another level with the creation of the Nano Shield. 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.

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. Rycote has advanced their patented Lyre mount and redesigned them specifically for the Nano Shield kits. 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. This allows for fast setups and mic swaps without the need for any tools. Additionally, the Nano Shield features a slim design friction-braking swivel arm, a low profile XLR cable with built-in RF filter and switchable 80Hz low-cut, and a reversible XLR holder for use with wireless transmitters or direct-to-cable connection. See the compatibility chart for Nano Shield Kits sizes to use with various microphones.
