Rycote Super Softie Overview

The 18cm Super-Softie has no rigid internal structure, thus it causes virtually no polar pattern distortion.

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.

It's compatible whit Deity S mic 2s?
Asked by: Milciades Germàn
No. The Rycote 033202 Super Softie Windshield for Shotgun Mic (5.9" Long, 0.7 to 0.9" Diameter) is too long for use with the Deity S-Mic 2S Short Shotgun Microphone. The S-Mic 2S is 5.83" (148mm) long and the inside depth of the windshield is 5.9" (150mm) long, so which is longer than the length of the microphone. The Rycote 033201 Super Softie Windshield for Shotgun Mic (4.7" Long, 0.7 to 0.9" Diameter) [B&H # RYSS12M] would be a better option. The inside depth of this windshield is 4.7" (120mm).
