Rycote 5cm Super-Softie (19/22)

Slip-on Windshield with the new 3D-Tex material and open-cell foam suitable for shotgun microphones only, with slots no further than 5cm from the front of the mic and a diameter of 19-22mm. Novel shape and 3D-Tex give greatly improved wind noise reduction compared to conventional "soft" windshields. A true cavity design, with superb performance at extreme low frequencies (where wind noise is worst). A rough-service windshield, robust enough for the most challenging news-gathering situations. High immunity to rain-soaking, and maintains excellent acoustic transparency in almost all situations.

Super-Softie
The Super Softie® is a completely new approach to the slip-on windshield. The new shape & open cell structure along with specially designed 3D-Tex™ material provides increased wind attenuation performance compared to conventional slip-on designs. It also achieves improved attenuation in extreme low frequencies and infrasonic frequencies protecting captured audio where wind noise is at its greatest.

3D-Tex™ Material
The Super Softie® windshield is designed with 3D-Tex™, a specially designed new material that combines enhanced acoustic transparency with outstanding attenuation of wind noise without the use of fur. This new material covers an open-cell foam structure rather than a rigid internal chassis to yield virtually no polar pattern distortion.

Ease of Maintenance
The Super-Softie® can be quickly squeezed out and shaken dry when rain-soaked, or rinsed when dust-coated without affecting its performance. This extremely robust design will sustain excellent performance for years of use in challenging environments such as news-gatherings.
