oktava MC 012 / MK 012 - D00260 | Rycote Global

Designed for the highly revered Schoeps MiniCMIT Shotgun Microphone.

A perfect fit for the Schoeps MiniCMIT microphone, compact & sleek design which come fitted with 62 & 72 Shore lyres and windjammer. This windshield offer finely tuned wind and noise handelling performance.

The Windjammer, first introduced by Rycote in 1987, is a high quality synthetic fur-cover, which provides the highest possible protection against extreme wind-noise. When using a Windjammer fitted over a Windshield up to 50 dB of wind-noise attenuation can be achieved, producing excellent standard audio recordings.

The Windjammer is made from materials which are specially designed and manufactured for the purpose, and as a result has virtually no adverse effect on High-Frequency. To be totally effective it is important that the pile of the Windjammer remains in prime condition, so each is supplied with a fold flat hairbrush for ongoing maintenance.

The Softie Windshield provides a quick, simple, robust and cost effective windshield for the tough environment of modern day ENG and location recording.

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

Both the acoustic foam and synthetic fur are made from materials which are specially designed and manufactured for the purpose, and as a result up to 25 dB of wind-noise reduction without any adverse effect on High-Frequency. In addition the foam is not susceptible to UV or moisture damage, giving this product great longevity.

Advanced materials, adhesives and assembly techniques all combine to make the Softie an extremely tough product that provides excellent wind protection in the harshest of environments.

The Softie Windshield can be purchased either on its own, or as part of a Kit, which includes a Windshield, Lyre shock-mount and Pistol-grip.

Softie Windshields come in two varieties of fur length, classic and short hair. The short haired Softie, known as the Camera-Mounted Softie has closely cropped dark grey synthetic fur, offers lower profile and a more compact design without severely altering the efficiency of the Softie. It can also be mounted close to the camera lens without causing unwanted shadows.

The Modular Windshield 10 Kit is suitable for the Sennheiser MKH 8000 series microphones when used with their MZX XLR modules attached.

The Super-Softie® with our material 3D-Tex™ combines superb wind noise reduction with excellent acoustic transparency.

Excellent noise reduction and weather durability

The Super-Softie® retains the excellent wind noise reduction of a conventional cavity windshield but allies it to a novel aerodynamic shape and surface structure, and to a material - 3D-Tex™ - which combines excellent acoustic transparency with superb attenuation of wind noise. It has no rigid internal structure, so causes virtually no polar pattern distortion and is extremely robust in challenging environments such as news-gathering.

If it becomes rain-soaked it can be squeezed out and shaken dry very quickly; if it becomes coated with dust it can be rinsed quickly without affecting its performance.

The shape & structure of the Super Softie® allow it to reduce wind noise at extreme LF and infrasonic frequencies - where the greatest wind energy lies - more efficiently than previous designs.

This cost-effective windshielding system is tough enough to withstand the harsh conditions of modern day recording, making it a popular choice in the TV industry worldwide. The kit includes a 5cm Softie Windshield, Lyre shock-mount and Pistol-grip, providing a quick and simple solution for wind protection and shock absorption. The Softie Windshield is a slip-on open-cell foam with an integral fur cover, reducing wind noise by up to 40 dB. It comes in a variety of sizes to fit most popular shotgun microphones. Both the acoustic foam and synthetic fur used in the Softie are specially designed and manufactured for this purpose, ensuring excellent wind-noise reduction without affecting high-frequency sound. The foam is also resistant to UV and moisture damage, ensuring the longevity of the product. The Softie Lyre Mount, which comes with a lightweight Pistol Grip handle, uses patented Lyre technology to provide complete isolation against handling and cable-borne noises. The grip securely holds the microphone in place, preventing any slipping or twisting. The Lyres are extremely durable and virtually unbreakable, making them a reliable choice for any recording environment.
