Rycote Windshield Kit Overview

From Manufacturer

The Modular Windshield WS 4 Kit (XLR-5F) from Rycote provides you with the accessories needed to prevent or isolate your microphone from up to 50 dB of wind and handling noise. It can be used in various outdoor environments, when maximum isolation from wind and handling noise is required, including such audio applications as weddings, outdoor and water sports, boating, and more. The WS 4 Kit features a modular suspension with pistol grip, a windshield, and a windjammer. Also featured are a boom pole adapter, a CB4 Connbox, and an XLR holder.

The microphone fits on the modular suspension and attaches to the Connbox. The windshield fits onto the suspension and is enclosed around the mic. The fuzzy windjammer then fits over the windshield. This completely modular system can be configured to allow almost any microphone to be shock-mounted. Two Duo-Lyre suspension webs, a brush, and a hex head key are included.

Modular Suspension
Complete isolation is provided against handling noise and cable-borne noises. It also supports the microphone in a cradle using Lyre suspension webs.
Windshield
The windshield basket completely surrounds the microphone and its connector. It slides onto the Modular Suspension to provide up to 30 dB of wind noise attenuation.
Windjammer
The Windjammer is a synthetic fur cover that is designed to fit over the Modular Windshield, providing an additional 20 dB of wind noise attenuation. It is fitted with a drawstring and toggle for easily fitting on the mic.
Compatible with Various Microphones
Audio-Technica AT 8035 (BP 4029), Rode NT4 (single shank), Sennheiser MKH 418, 418S, and Sony ECM 680S. It is designed to fit microphones with lengths from 9.7 up to 11" (246 to 280mm).

Had a MKH416 for about a year plus and only just invested in this. Loved the build of it and all the extra things that came with it. Quality wise it did as advertised.

Can this be used with the Sennheiser MKH 8060?
Asked by: Andrew
No. The Rycote Modular Windshield Kit WS 3 includes the Connbox CB4 which is compatible for use with stereo microphones that have a 5-pin XLR connector. The Sennheiser MKH 8060 Short Shotgun Microphone uses a standard 3-pin XLR connector. A similar compatible windshield kit is the Rycote 086067 Modular Windshield WS 1 Kit MZL for the Sennheiser MKH 8060 Microphone (B&H # RYMWS1MZLKIT). You can also use the Rycote 010320 Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics - Small (B&H # RYSSKS) or the RODE Blimp Windshield and Rycote Shock Mount Suspension System for Shotgun Microphones (B&H # ROBLIMPR).

Asked by: Andrew
The Rycote 010324 Windshield Kit for Sennheiser MKH 416 and Select Shotgun Microphones is intended for use with microphones that are approximately 10" long and the Sennheiser MKH 8060 Short Shotgun Microphone is just 7" long. You should be able to use the 010324 Windshield together with the MKH 8060,

Will this fit to audio Technica 4053b ?
Asked by: Dicky
Although specified for another microphone, the Rycote Windshield Kit for Schoeps MiniCMIT should also accommodate the Audio-Technica AT4053b Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone, as its physical dimensions are almost identical to the Schoeps MiniCMIT this product is designed for.

Does this have enough clearance to mount an MKH 418?
Asked by: Girard
No. The Rycote 010324 Windshield Kit is intended for use with microphones that are 9.84" (250 mm) long and between 0.75 to 0.98" (19 to 25 mm) in diameter. The Sennheiser MKH 418S Stereo Shotgun Microphone is 11" (280 mm) long with a 0.75" (19 mm) diameter, so it is too long for this particular windshield. As a compatible model for the MKH 418S, you can use the Rycote 086069 Modular Windshield Kit WS 3 with XLR-5F and Connbox CB4 (B&H # RYMWS3STKIT).
