Miniscreen™

Windshield Rating: MEDIUM

Suitable for most camera-mounted shotgun microphones, the stylish Miniscreen™ and Miniscreen™ Windjammer™ provide a low profile slip-on windshielding, with excellent wind protection of up to 36 dB.

The Miniscreen™ is a rigid, blimp-style windshield that is slipped onto the front of the microphone. Made from a laminated combination of netting and fabric material, the Miniscreen™ provides a snug fit to the microphone and offers up to 18 dB wind-noise attenuation when used on its own.

The Miniscreen™ Windjammer™ further attenuates wind-noise by an additional 18 dB when fitted on top of the Miniscreen, whilst maintaining a very discreet appearance. The Windjammer™ is manufactured from short black synthetic fur, with a silk liner.

All materials used are specifically engineered to achieve maximum wind-protection, with minimal high frequency loss you'd expect from a Rycote windshield.

Available on their own, the Miniscreen™ and Miniscreen™ Windjammer™ are also available as part of the Universal Camera Kit.

What size do I need?

Finding the correct slip-on windshield will depend on the type, length and diameter of the microphone. Slip-on windshields are designed for cylindrical shotgun mics, ranging from 19-25 mm in diameter.

For any windshield to work effectively it must cover all the ports on the microphone. Therefore a 12 cm slip-on windshield would be suitable for shotgun microphones, with slots no further than 12 cm from the front of the mic.

The diameter of the microphone is also key, as the fit must be tight in order to achieve a good seal. Rycote Miniscreen™ slip-on windshields come in one Universal (19-25 mm) fitting.
