The all-new
Stereo Cyclone.
Since the launch of our hugely popular flagship windshield Kit – the Cyclone – our customers have been asking us for stereo versions. We listened, and began our most intensive, detailed cycle of product development to date.
The new Rycote Stereo Cyclone range features a comprehensive selection of professional windshield kits, designed for the popular stereo techniques, such as X/Y, Mid-Side and Double Mid-Side. As well as models designed for Single Mic and Ambisonic mic applications.
Each model has been individually designed to perfectly complement specific, popular stereo microphone combinations. Whether it’s for production sound, broadcast, audio for gaming or wildlife recording – if you use stereo recording to create directionality, perspective, space, atmosphere and realism – there’s a Stereo Cyclone model that’s perfect for you!
One range – Multiple stereo
and surround techniques.
The Stereo Cyclone range covers a variety of popular stereo and surround recording techniques, and each kit is individually designed and optimised for a specific stereo microphone or microphone pairing – our range of models is extensive!
Unique design… individually hand-built.
The Cyclone range represents the pinnacle of wind and shock isolation available for audio professionals. By successfully addressing the design challenges presented by the introduction of multiple microphones, we are now able to offer the stunning performance of Cyclone for stereo microphone applications.
Our unique design approach has enabled us to keep overall size as compact as possible – so most Stereo Cyclone models feature our Small or Medium Cyclone basket sizes.
Each and every Stereo Cyclone windshield is individually hand-built in our factory in Stroud. This very specialised manufacturing process is carried-out by a highly-skilled Rycote technician, and takes many hours to complete.
A sleek new Connbox design.
Specific to each stereo configuration.
Designed specifically for internal cable routing, isolation and vibration reduction, we took our original Connbox and redesigned it for stereo and multichannel microphone configurations.
Each Connbox has been uniquely built for a specific mic setup. Every wire and connector has been precisely measured to offer maximum performance.
This completely effective and ready-to-use solution to connection problems means you don’t have to worry – just plug in your microphones!

Premium short XLR.
The premium short XLR supplied with the Cyclone Small and Medium is not only lightweight: it makes these models perfect for use with longer microphones, reducing the overall size and weight of the Cyclone model required. In other words, Cyclone Medium, with its durable, lightweight chassis, houses many popular shotgun mics!

* Our recommendation for the Sennheiser MKH8040/8050 is the Cyclone Small (XLR) model, based on the use of the Sennheiser MZX (XLR module) with these microphones. If you wish to use either of these mics without the MZX module attached, you can do so using the Cyclone Small (MZL).
