The HC-15 and HC-22 are high-quality hypercardioid shotgun microphones. Both of these mics offer performance equal to or better than many of the more expensive professional microphones, while also offering a self-noise level lower than almost any equivalent sized shotgun mic at any price.
How did we do it? We kept things simple. The HC microphones are shipped with only a case — no mic clips, no foams, no other accessories. To reduce costs, we decided to minimise the packaging and shipping costs by not paying to send “air” across the world. We ask that you please find compatible Rycote foams, Softies, windshield kits, shock mounts and other accessories near you.
Our new microphones were designed in-house and are made at Rycote in our factory in the U.K. As such, we are able to utilise much of our current manufacturing and testing resources we use to make other Rycote products. Therefore our investment costs for production was not as high as if we had started making mics from scratch. This combined with a modular material and components design allowed us to create two hypercardioid mics cost effectively and pass on more value to you.

The Rycote HC-35 is a hypercardioid, long shotgun microphone, designed for specific applications such as sport broadcast and location recording where wide-angle shots and loud noises’ rejection are vital to clean sound.The HC-35 produces a highly directional polar thanks to its longer interference tube than its siblings, the HC-15 and HC-22, providing better o-axis rejection. It is also remarkably light compared to other solutions allowing an easier job for targeting sound sources when mounting it on windshields or classic softie slip-on protection.
