Cyclone Windshield Kit w/ Windjammer, Medium

The medium Cyclone is designed for the Sennhesier MKH416, Schoeps CMIT 5U, and microphones of similar size when used with a smaller profile XLR connector.

This kit includes the Cyclone Windjammer, a high quality synthetic fur-cover that provides the highest possible insulation against wind noise. When using a Windjammer fitted over a Cyclone Windshield, up to 60 dB of wind noise attenuation can be achieved, producing excellent audio recordings.

The Cyclone has been designed with ease of set-up and use as a priority for the location sound professional. The windshield basket design uses a magnetic Z-Locking system that can be opened and closed in the blink of  an eye – using just one hand. Reassembly is automatic as components magnetically snap into perfect alignment.

With an aerodynamically efficient asymmetric shape, it is covered with Rycote's new-age 3D-Tex® material. This provides enormous benefits in terms of surface turbulence and acoustic impedance resulting in such a level of wind noise reduction that a fur cover is unnecessary.  An optional Windjammer allows for recording in  extreme “weather warning” conditions.

Inside the Cyclone, Rycote uses a system similar to the Lyre® microphone suspension system to reduce the bulk of shock and handling noise. The Cyclone takes the Lyre principle and incorporates it in a Floating Basket Suspension. This innovative technique provides vibration isolation between basket and pole, thus attenuating handling noise at source.
