Rycote Classic Softie Reviews

Great quality wind protection

By Russell
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-02-09

Using it on a 416. Love the build quality and does an excellent job in outdoors scenes with light breeze to keep any buffeting from being picked up by the mic. If you need heavy wind protection best to get a blimp. But this is great for normal everyday outdoor use.

Good for moderate wind

This wind-screen works well for moderate wind outdoors. I have it in my audio kit to pair with my Sennheiser 416 and it fits great

Would it be counter productive to leave this on for indoor recording? Just wondering if I can leave it on all the time to same some setup time.
Asked by: Dongjoo
Removal of the windscreen really wouldn't save you much time. It slips on and off. I strongly recommend using a foam screen for indoors.

Does this fit the Deity S Mic 2 or does this fit ...

Does this fit the Deity S Mic 2 or does this fit the Deity S Mic 2S (the short one)?? If it fits the 2S, is there more length in the softie than there is mic in the 2S, or does the length of the 2S completely fill in the length inside of the softie? If the length of the 2S is shorter than the length of the softie, will having that extra space inside the softie negativity impact the sound quality of the S Mic 2S?

Asked by: Andrew
The Rycote Standard Hole Classic Softie Wind-Screen is 7" long, so at 5.7" long the MKH 8060 will be too small for this windscreen.

question

How many mph of wind can this withstand? I'm planning to film at the beach and the wind fluctuates between 3-15 mph there.
Asked by: Deborah
It does pretty well in that little wind. The problem at the beach is the crushing sound of the waves! The wind will be the least of your issues. I use this Softie all the time. Great product.
