RYCOTE 055430 MINI WINDJAMMER WINDSHIELD For Rode Stereo Videomic Pro microphone

The Rycote Baseball series of windscreens have been designed specifically for use with microphones on boom poles used indoors to reduce 'swooshing' noise incurred when repositioning the boom pole. The Baseball has been manufactured with durable open cell foam and covered in soft felt to offer protection to the microphone during 'equipment changes'.

There are three models are available, Baseball 19/20, Baseball 21/22, and Baseball 24/25 which all share the same outer diameter of 75mm. The Baseball 19/20, which offers a fixing diameter of 19-20mm, is suitable for microphones such as the DPA 408, Sennheiser MKH8040 or MKH8050 and Schoeps CMC. Baseball 21/22 is compatible with microphones including Audio Technica AT4049B, AT4051B, AT4021B, AT4022, AT4041 [92-743], Neumann KM 183 [92-876], KM 184 [92-870], KM 185 [92-877] and Sennheiser ME64 K6. The Baseball 24-25 offers a fixing diameter of 24-25mm and is compatible with the Sennheiser MKH 40 and MKH 50 [92-120] microphones.

Dimensions: 75mm, diameter. Weight: 17g.

Unlike the familiar Rycote Modular Windshields, these designs slip onto the body of the microphone. They may be used on handheld or with 'Softie', 'InVision Studio' or 'InVision Broadcast' lyre shock-mounts, for cylindrical and square microphones.

Constructed to offer the wind attenuation properties of a full sized windshield in a much smaller package, Baby Ball Gags (or BBGs) are suitable for low-profile boom applications as well as for use in hand-held operations and interviews. They are used widely for ORTF microphone pairs.

The windshield is constructed of the same material as the full size modular windshields, but rather than clipping to a microphone suspension, the Ball Gag is mounted directly on the microphone, a grommet gripping the microphone body. The microphone is pushed through the grommet, to completely enclose the microphone capsule, allowing the microphone to be hand-held, supported by clamp or a suitable mount such as the 'Softie', 'InVision Studio' or 'InVision Broadcast' shock-mount. The ball gag consists of two halves, which can be separated, to fit microphones with a ball-head or tapered body from inside the windshield.

Four sizes are available to fit nominally 20mm (011001), 21mm (011007), 22mm (011002), and 25mm (011003) microphone shanks respectively. Maximum head diameter: 80mm.

Optional accessories: For additional wind protection a furry Windjammer cover is available.

Rycote microphone Foams are slip-on foam windshields, designed to protect the microphone head against light wind and pop noise. Made of durable, high quality, open-cell acoustic foam, resistant to moisture and UV light, these windshields offer up to 10dB wind noise attenuation, whilst keeping high frequency loss to a minimum. The range includes windshields for use with small-diaphragm microphones including some lavalier types, reporter microphones, and some large-diaphragm studio types as well as shotgun microphones. All the shotgun Foams can be fitted with an additional Windjammer synthetic fur covers, for a further 12 dB wind noise attenuation. The Foams are available with and without Windjammer.

Foams are listed with details of the diameter and depth of the recess to take the microphone. The 'hole' size given is the range of microphone diameters that can be accommodated. The length given is the length of microphone that will be covered by the foam. A foam should be chosen which will cover both the end of the microphone and all of the slots or other apertures in the microphone body.
