Professional Microphones

Premium performance with a common tonal quality for seamless mixing and matching

For more than 50 years, Rycote has leveraged its audio expertise to design and manufacture industry leading windshield kits, shock mounts and other accessories.
From condenser to lavalier, many categories of microphone accessories have either been created by or improved upon by Rycote.
We make specialty kits for many of the world’s leading microphone companies.
The one thing we hadn’t done was to design and create our very own high-quality professional microphones — until now.

Capture
every detail

Designed to reproduce the most accurate reflection of what is being recorded, our microphones promise to capture every detail with exceptional clarity.

Precise Audio

We wanted a microphone range devoted to reproduce the most accurate reflection of what is being recorded, capturing every detail with clarity. Our microphones 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.
