For the optimal wind-noise protection the kit includes Rycote's trusted Windjammer that has been specifically designed for the Super-Blimp NTG5.
The Windjammer first introduced by Rycote is a high quality synthetic fur-cover, which provides the highest possible protection against extreme wind-noise.
When using a Windjammer fitted over a Cyclone Windshield up to 60 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 Stereo Windshield WS AE ORTF Kit (MZL) includes a Connbox with detachable 130mm Binder cables with MZL termination for use with Sennheiser MKH 8020, 8040, or 8050 mics and a Binder to 5-pin XLR output cable for additional protection from cable-borne noise.

The Rycote ORTF Kits are perfect for ORTF stereo recording which was pioneered by the engineers at the French state broadcaster in the 1960s, and is defined as using a stereo pair of microphones with the capsules spaced 17cm apart, and at an angle of 110 degrees to each other.
In addition to the MZL version, we offer two other variants of the ORTF kit: Stereo Windshield WS AE ORTF Kit (LEMO) includes a Connbox with detachable 130mm Binder cables with Lemo termination for use with Schoeps CCMs and a Binder to 5-pin XLR output cable.
