Rycote 086038 Full Windshield Kit – WS Kit 9 MZL Rycote

Suitable for Sennheiser MKH8020, 8040 and 8050 when used without their MZX XLR module. The Modular Windshield WS 9 Kit offers a unique and highly effective solution for compact condenser microphones requiring wind protection and maximum shock isolation. It completely surrounds the compact microphone, sliding onto the XX-Small Suspension to provide up to 25dB of wind noise attenuation. The wind attenuation performance is equivalent to a Rycote full sized Windshield yet in a much smaller and lighter package – only 170mm x 105mm including end caps. High quality synthetic fur-cover Windjammer for WS 9 provides the highest possible protection against extreme wind-noise. When using a Windjammer fitted over a Windshield up to 35 dB of windnoise attenuation can be achieved, producing excellent exterior audio recordings.

Finding the correct Windshield Kit will depend on the type, length and diameter of the microphone. Because the whole microphone is encased in a windshield basket the total length of the microphone including the XLR cable must be accounted for, this means adding 50mm to the length of the mic. For a windshield to work effectively the microphone should be mounted centrally within the windshield, therefore the microphone plus XLR length should approximately equal the windshield body length. The body length of the windshields is the total length, excluding end caps.
