Rycote Super Softie Overview

The Rycote Super Softie Windshield for Shotgun Mic (4.7" Long, 0.7 to 0.9" Diameter) features an aerodynamic shape and surface structure made from the company's 3D-Tex material, which allows for attenuation of wind noise with acoustic transparency. It is suitable for a variety of sound recording applications including video, ENG, and more.

The 4.7" Super Softie has no rigid internal structure, thus it causes virtually no polar pattern distortion. Its robust design has been engineered for use in challenging environments, and if it becomes rain-soaked, it can be squeezed out and shaken dry quickly. If it becomes coated with dust, it can be rinsed quickly without affecting its performance.

Works Great for Moderate to Light winds

This is a great quick slide on solution when you're in a hurry. It's not a blimp so don;t expect it to stop strong winds but works great for moderate to light winds.

Which Rycote solution would work with the ...

Which Rycote solution would work with the Sennheiser MKH 8050, both with and without the MZF 8000 II filter module?
Asked by: Larry
The Rycote 5cm Super-Softie Windshield with 3D-Tex (19/22) will work with the Sennheiser MKH 8050 and the Sennheiser MZF 8000 II filter module. You will have quite a bit of space inside, if you use the MKH 8050 without the filter module, because the full length of the microphone without the filter module is only 2.9".
