    RYC033342 15cm Classic-Softie Kit (19/22)
    The Softie Mount, used with the Softie Windshield provides a fast, flexible and cost effective solution for ENG use and forms a robust and practical windshield (70mm in diameter) which can be effectively used without the mount in handhels operation mode.

    The Softie Windshield & Shockmount system comprises of the following:

    Softie Windshield
    The Softie Windshield is a slip on open cell foam, with an integral fitted fur cover. The Softie will reduce wind noise and protect your microphone, and is the standard world-wide in TV. Available in a large range of sizes to fit most popular microphones.

    Softie Mount
    The mount is a simple but effective. The mount comes in 3 sizes, dependant on the diameter of your microphone. The attachment below the mount is then determined by the intended use of the mount, for example Pistol grip handle, boom pole adaptor or the Multi Mount for use on a camcorders hotshoe.

    The main component of the Softie mount is a one piece rubber (actual material: EPDM) diaphragm shockmount. This unit is extremely robust, and has been tested in all environment conditions to ensure it performs.

    The Softie Mount comes in three sizes, depending on which microphone being used.
    Small Hole 19-20mm diameter
    Medium Hole 21-22mm diameter
    Large Hole 24-25mm diameter

    The mounts are 58mm diameter x 56mm long, and support short to medium length shotgun microphones. Please use the ''Quick Product Finder'' to see what size you need for your mic. The Softie mount will only fit shotgun microphones, which are cylindrical in shape (the same diameter though their whole length). We can not mount microphones that taper, with the Softie mount.

    The longest Softie Windshields have an internal bore of 32cm (12-1/2'') - Example:AKG CK68 or Audio Technica AT815b. These are the longest microphones we would recomend using a Softie Mount for, simply because the mount is flexible & cannot support longer mics. For longer mics, we would only recomend a Full Windshield System, and a Modular suspension.

    RYC105526 Neoprene-coated Mini Lavalier Foam
    The Lavalier Foam is a discreet, slip-on foam windshield, designed to protect personal microphones against light wind and pop noise.

    Made of durable, high quality open-cell acoustic foam, Lavalier Foam windshields offer up to 20dB of pop and wind noise attenuation, whilst avoiding concurrent high frequency loss. Engineered exclusively for Rycote, this high quality foam also provides excellent resistance against the damaging effects of moisture and UV light.

    An effective, low profile windshield solution for personal microphones, the Lavalier Foam is available in a range of Black, Beige and Brown colours.

    Additionally, you can now also benefit from a further 12dB of wind noise attenuation with Rycote's Lavalier Windjammer™ (Furry). Specifically designed for windier conditions, the Lavalier Windjammer™ fits on top of the Lavalier Foam and comes in a range of black, grey, and white as standard. Other colours are also available on request to allow you to select the right match for your chosen piece of clot.
