Nano Shield Kit

The Nano Shield offers an enhanced level of wind protection paired with improved acoustic transparency. The kits are smaller and lighter than Rycotes modular windshield kits and the redesigned mounting options are more versatile with better handling noise reduction.

Mix-n-Match Basket Design
The Nano Shield kits use a magnetic locking basket design which can be configured to fit various microphone sizes by simply swapping out basket halves (Other halves sold separately). Two manual locking sliders hold everything securely.

Lighter, Smaller & More Flexible
The Nano Shield kits are, on average, 30% lighter than standard modular kits and have a smaller footprint when used with the same microphones. The basket shell is made from semi-rigid material that combines strength with flexibility. Layers of extra wind shielding can easily be added as you move from indoors to outdoors.

Advanced Lyre® Mounts
Rycote's patented Lyre mount has been redesigned specifically for the Nano Shield. While the basic shape might look similar, the material, thickness, center of gravity and mechanical properties have been engineered to provid fore more responsive handling in the direction the microphone is pointing while providing more stability in other directions to prevent mics from ‘bottoming-out’ or moving side-to-side.

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. Likewise, the swivel arm can be repositioned by loosening the friction braking wheel with interchangeable adaptors for an integrated PCS tip or 3/8″ thread.  

RF Filter & Low Cut XLR
Kits come supplied with low-profile XLR cables that have both an active in-line RF filter and switchable 80Hz low cut (requires phantom power). Versions of the cable with switchable 60Hz low cut, MZL, Digital Mics and others are also available.
