A closer look
Within our range, you'll find a carefully curated selection of professional microphones — including 3 shotgun models, 3 pencil microphones and a single figure-of-8 — each precision engineered and offer premium quality sound.
Shotgun Microphones
A range of hypercardioid models designed for film, broadcast, and field recording. The HC-15, HC-22 and long-range HC-35 feature lightweight, durable brass and aluminum housings, delivering exceptional directionalit and clarity for capturing focused audio.
Pencil Microphones
Rycote’s pencil condenser lineup includes the CA-08 (cardioid), SC-08 (supercardioid) and OM-08 (omnidirectional). Designed for studio and field use, they feature low-noise circuitry, consistent voicing and rugged construction. Available as matched stereo pairs, they deliver excellent clarity for music, dialogue and ambient recording.
Figure-of-8 Microphone
The BD-10 is Rycote’s bidirectional condenser microphone, designed for M/S and double M/S stereo setups, ambient capture and dual dialogue. With ultra-low self-noise, fine-tuned RF shielding and tonal consistency across the Rycote range, it pairs seamlessly with shotgun and pencil mics for flexible stereo and spatial recording.
