S-series Suspension & Windshield System

Overview

The S-series is a wholly new design - new suspension concept, new materials, new windshield construction - and retains all the renowned Rycote features of flexibility, balance and professional performance. It is lightweight with a minimum of parts, tough enough to withstand the rigours of ENG and simple to use straight out of the box - with the XLR cable supplied.

Includes cable fitted with Neutrik NC3 (XLR-style) connectors.

S-series Suspension

• One-piece web suspension elements - no rubbers or elastics
• Patented design gives ideal isolation for all axial microphones
• Unaffected by temperature and all-but unbreakable
• Suitable for microphones 19mm (¾”) to 25mm (1”) in shaft diameter
• Snap-in webs with six positions for perfect balance and fit
• Matched, high-flexibility microphone cable with twin clamps
• Pinch-release fittings for webs and cable clamps for quick and easy repositioning

Cable/Connectors Specification

• Balanced microphone twin with ultra-fine stranded copper cores (18 x 0.1mm) and a helical screen
• 3mm soft PVC jacket for high flexibility even at low temperatures
• 3-pin Neutrik NC3 (XLR-style) connectors with gold-finished pins
• For microphones with 5-pin XLR outputs the S-series cable will not fit. At this time we do not provide a 5-pin XLR cable option.

Structure

• Steel spine for core strength and rigidity
• Central chassis ring secures windshield pods and allows fast access to the microphone
• Chassis ring can be demounted when only a suspension is required

All S-series systems will be supplied with our NEW pistol grip handle. For more info on the new handle please click here

S-series windshield (windscreen)

• The windshield (windscreen) uses pairs of “Pods” which twist-lock to the chassis ring
• All pods are 100mm (4”) diameter but come in three different lengths (see sizes below)
• Four kit sizes combine the Pods to house microphones from <200mm (8”) to a maximum of 410mm (16”)
• The acoustic fur covering (30mm staple) is integral and can give >30dB windnoise suppression (100-500Hz)
