An industry standard for a variety of professional recording situations in broadcast, radio and television, Sennheiser’s MKH 416 shotgun microphone deserves the best wind and handling noise protection available.
That’s why we designed the Windshield Kit, 416. Featuring our genuine, patented Lyre® technology, Rycote basket windshield, premium short XLR connectors (incorporated from our advanced Cyclone® range) and professional-quality Mogami cable, it’s perfect for the Sennheiser MKH 416.*
*Also suitable for other shotgun microphones up to 250mm in length, & between 19 and 25mm in diameter.
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. It also includes a Lyre suspension, a cable clamp, and a 145mm Stereo Windshield & Windjammer large enough to comfortably accommodate the microphones. A specially designed Rycote mounting adapter bar keeps the microphones at the correct spacing and angle for ORTF recording, and the Lyre suspension and shared windshield combine to provide a solution that is extremely resistant to wind noise and unwanted vibrations and handling 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.
