Rycote Windshield Kit Overview

From Manufacturer

The Modular Windshield WS 6 Kit (XLR-5F) from Rycote is suitable for stereo microphones from from 351mm up to 400mm in length and 19-34mm diameter with a 5-pin XLR connector.

It is designed to accommodate situations in which maximum isolation from wind and handling noise is required. This complete modular system can be configured to allow almost any microphone to be shock-mounted and provided with varying degrees of wind-shielding.

The modular suspension provides complete isolation against handling noise and cable-borne noises, by supporting the microphone in a cradle arrangement using Lyre suspension webs. The Windjammer is high a quality synthetic fur cover, designed to fit perfectly over the Modular Windshield. It gives an additional 20dB of wind noise attenuation. Fitted with a drawstring & toggle to allow snug and easy fitting.

Features:
  • Flexible, complete windshield and suspension package, which provides varying levels of windshielding for numerous microphone configurations

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?

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).
