STEREO WINDSHIELD (ORTF)
The Stereo Windshield (ORTF) is a lightweight, durable basket made from flexible grey plastic netting with a screening material attached. This system provides excellent wind-noise reduction with minimal High-Frequency loss.
A Stereo Windshield (ORTF) comprises: A Windshield body and an end cap, which provides easy, secure and rattle-free access at the rear of the basket and allows easy placement of stereo microphone configurations internally.
STEREO SUSPENSIONS (ORTF)
Stereo Suspensions (ORTF) provide superb isolation against handling noise and accommodate precise microphone alignment using Lyre suspensions.
Stereo Suspensions (ORTF) are suitable for LEMO and MZL connectors via the included Connbox.
STEREO WINDJAMMER
Originally developed by Rycote, the Windjammer is a high-quality, synthetic fur-cover that provides the highest possible protection against extreme wind-noise. Made from materials specially designed for wind-noise isolation, the Windjammer has virtually no adverse effect on high frequencies.
CONNBOX
Reduce handling and cable-borne noise to the microphone. Included with select Stereo Windshield Kits, the Connbox is a unique Rycote development specifically designed to isolate and greatly reduce handling and cable-borne noise to the microphone. It acts as a transition connection that effectively inhibits cable vibration, preventing transmission to the microphone. The lengths of soft cable are set to work perfectly with the microphone fitted in the windshield without touching the internal surface of the basket, while the soft cable greatly reduces the transmission of cable-borne noise and rumble.
- Unique, wide-basket design allows for optimal positioning of microphones
- Specifically-calibrated suspension design for precision ORTF spacing/angling
- Uses Rycote’s patented Lyre system, which offers vastly increased performance over traditional elastic and o-ring suspensions
- Internal cable clamps efficiently and tidily route cables
- Tried-and-tested, wide basket design with increased diameter to accommodate ORTF and provide optimal wind protection
