Designed to replace a lost cable or expand an existing Nano Shield kit, the Nano Shield XLR-3F to XLR-3M Cable from Rycote is a low-profile XLR female to male cable with a switchable 80 Hz low-cut filter for easily eliminating unwanted low-frequency sounds and rumbling caused by handling wind or handling the field mic kit. This cable sports a thin, flexible cable and active, in-line RF filtering technology for protecting your recordings from obtrusive RF interference.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would this grip and suspension work with the Rycote 21mm BBG as an alternative to the kit included blimp and softie? Would like to use this for it's handling noise features with an AT BP4025 and have the BBG as a smaller footprint option to the blimp.

A: The grip and suspension found within Rycote Modular Windshield Kit WS 3 with XLR-5F and Connbox CB4 would not work with the Rycote BBG Windshield, as the BBG does not accommodate internal suspensions and is designed for covering the head of the microphone only, as opposed to encapsulating the entire microphone.

Q: 2. The handle bottom is not threaded and so It's unclear how to mount this on to a boom pole??

A: There is a thread on the bottom of the shock mount that will mate with any standard bom pole threading.

Q: 3. How long are these cables ? 18” & 24” ?

A: The TFX-8 cable measures 21 inches in length.

Q: 4. Will this work safely with a Godox FL150R ?

A: Yes, the Genaray 12V Battery XLR Cable for MonoBright will work safely with the Godox echo system.

Q: 5. Could anyone recommend a 12v battery to go along with this and the Monobright 1200? thanks

A: The Bescor PRB-12ATM Starved Electrolyte Battery Belt - 12 VDC, 12 amp hours, Cigarette Connector, with Automatic Charger B&H # BEPRB12ATM would be a suitable battery for use with the Genaray MonoBright Daylight LED 1200. Please see the image below for reference.

Q: 6. Will the Rode NTG4+ fit inside this blimp (size medium)?

A: Yes it will. Just ensure that you position it properly on the mounts.

Q: 7. Is this filter cable also a pre-amp? How does the mic get power if it bypasses the pre-amp module?

A: The Rycote Nano Shield MZL to XLR-3M Cable is only a cable and filter. Power would be acquired through phantom power from the mixer or recorder that the XLR-3M side is connected to.

Q: 8. can this be used with an XLR mic going into an audio interface, such as a Focusrite Scarlett?

A: Yes, while the Focusrite family can accept a wide range of microphone input voltages, this device can provide additional attenuation. If the microphone is being over-driven in a particular sound field, this will not cure that problem. It is preferred that high attenuation not be introduced on the input side and then amplified back up by the pre-amplifier as the signal to noise ratio will suffer.

Q: 9. Would the Audio-Technica bp4025 head fit when mounted with the 5 pin XLR cable?

A: The Rycote Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics would not be recommended for use with microphones as wide as the Audio-Technica BP4025.

Q: 10. Can this be used to feed a line-level output from a soundboard into a mic-level input camera socket where the source signal is 30 or 40db more than what the camera needs? I am not sure which side is male vs. female. Thanks.

A: Yes. I use it to take line level from a soundboard into a mic level audio recorder. It works perfectly.
