Rycote Super Softie Overview

The standard hole Rycote 18cm Super-Softie Wind Shield for Shotgun Mics 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 ideal for a variety of sound recording applications including video, ENG and more.

The 18cm Super-Softie has no rigid internal structure, thus it causes virtually no polar pattern distortion. It's 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. Also, if it becomes coated with dust it can be rinsed quickly without affecting its performance.

Does it fits sennheiser mke600?

Does it fits sennheiser mke600?
Asked by: Marcelo
Yes, the Rycote 033203 18cm Super Softie Wind Shield for Shotgun Mics will fit on the Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone, but it is 7" deep and the mic is 10" long, so it may cover too much of the microphone. A better match is the Rycote 033202 Super Softie Windshield for Shotgun Mics (B&H # RYSS15M). which is 5" deep and also lists compatibility with the MKE 600 in the product description.

question

Hi, I been reading about and noticed that there is a few versions of the Super Softie with very different performance, especially on the 18cm. Are you selling the latest?
Asked by: Milton R.
Yes, all the Super-Softie windscreens are now slightly larger at the base to improve performance of wind noise reduction. All Super-Softies sold here are now using the newest design.
