Rycote 18cm Classic-Softie Kit (19/22) #033352

Softie Windshield
The Softie Windshield is a slip on open cell foam, with an integral fitted fur cover. The Softie will reduce wind noise and protect your microphone, and is the standard world-wide in TV. Available in a large range of sizes to fit most popular microphones.

The main component of the Softie mount is a one piece rubber (actual material: EPDM) diaphragm shockmount. This unit is extremely robust, and has been tested in all environment conditions to ensure it performs.

The Softie Mount comes in three sizes, depending on which microphone being used:
Small Hole 19-20mm diameter
Medium Hole 21-22mm diameter
Large Hole 24-25mm diameter

The mounts are 58mm diameter x 56mm long, and support short to medium length shotgun microphones. The Softie mount will only fit shotgun microphones, which are cylindrical in shape (the same diameter though their whole length). You can not mount microphones that taper, with the Softie mount.

The longest Softie Windshields Rycote offers have an internal bore of 32cm (12-1/2") -Example:AKG CK68 or Audio Technica AT815b.

These are the longest microphones recommended using a Softie Mount for, simply because the mount is flexible & can not support longer mics. For longer mics, a Full Windshield System, and a Modular suspension is recommended.

The Softie Mount, used with the Softie Windshield (included in this price) provides a fast, flexible and cost effective solution for ENG on camera microphones.

Softie Mount and Handle:
The Softie mount & pistol grip handle can be used as a handle-held mount or be fitted to a boom pole with a 3/8" Whitworth thread. The handle is designed to securely hold the XLR connector, to prevent any unwanted noises.
