Capture Every Detail

PRECISE AUDIO

We wanted a mic range devoted to reproduce the most accurate reflection of what is being recorded, capturing every detail with clarity. We think the mics offer a crisp sound with some additional warmth, sounding true but not sterile.

 

REMARKABLE LOW SELF-NOISE

All components have been accurately selected to achieve one of the lowest self-noise levels in the industry. Ideal for dialogues, film productions and any environment where the finest sound nuance is captured to reproduce the same live atmosphere but on screen.

 

COMMON TONAL QUALITY

Consistency. This is what we looked when designing the range. The Rycote microphones share One sonic signature that makes them cut together seamlessly.

From the Field

Using the Rycote microphones has allowed me to record in some pretty unforgiving environments, the Sumatran rainforest being one of them.

It is clear that the Rycote mics handle themselves fine in windy conditions. And the NanoShields are a good match and their performance belies their small size and light weight.
