Smoothie

Windshield Rating: MEDIUM

This slip-on 2-part foam cavity windshield is tough enough to withstand the rigours of modern day ENG and location recording, whilst still being practical.

Constructed of specially designed open-cell acoustic foam base and covered by a thin foam outer skin, Smoothies offer up to 22 dB of wind-noise reduction without any adverse effect on High-Frequency. In addition, the foam used is not susceptible to UV or moisture damage, giving this product great longevity.

The Smoothie will reduce wind-noise, protect your mic and even act as a recognisable asset. Smoothie windshields are available in a large range of sizes, to match Softie sizes, and fit most popular shotgun microphones.

Smoothie windshields can be shock-mounted using either the Softie Lyre Mount or the on-camera InVision™ Video Mount. Because of they’re smooth nature, Smoothies are often preferred, as they’re less obtrusive.

For applications requiring increased wind protection, removable Windjammer™ are available, extending product versatility. Smoothie Windjammer™ can offer up to 22 dB of wind-noise attenuation and are made using Softie fur.

Available in a colourful selection.

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 slip-on windshields come in three diameter fittings, Universal (19-25 mm), Standard (19-22 mm) or Large (24-25 mm).
