The Shotgun Mic Foam and Windjammer Combo from Rycote is a slip-on wind solution for shotgun microphones. The foam features a 5.9" inner depth and a standard hole diameter opening. It features an open-cell acoustic foam windscreen that offers up to 10 dB wind-noise attenuation and a synthetic-fur windjammer that offers up to 12 dB of wind-noise attenuation.

The foam windscreen slips over the microphone head. The windjammer slips over the foam. The combo is designed to keep high-frequency loss to a minimum while providing resistance against the effects of moisture and UV light. Use it to capture audio recordings in outdoor conditions such as on boats or beaches, in stormy weather, and more.

Q: 6. Does it will work with Oktava MK 012?

A: The Rycote 055201 Shotgun Mic Foam and Windjammer Combo is intended for use with microphones that are 19 to 22mm in diameter, but the diameter of the Oktava MK 012 is 23mm. As a better option, Rycote recommends the Rycote 021801 BBG Windjammer (B&H # RYBBGWJ) or the Rycote 033012Standard Hole Classic Softie Wind-Screen (B&H # RYS5M).

Q: 10. Will this fit the oktava m 012 mic or is it better to go a size down since it is 23mm?

A: We cannot confirm compatibility for any of the baseball windscreen and windjammer combo kits with your microphone. Oktava does list the diameter of the MK 012 and MC 012 models as 23mm (0.9") and length as 128mm (5"). The Rycote 24/25mm will be too loose and the 21/22mm may not be able to stretch because of the plastic collar on the foam. This item is intended for use with a shotgun microphone while your mic is more of small diaphragm condenser style. If you do want the foam/fur combination, perhaps something like the Auray WSS-2012 Professional Windshield for Shotgun Microphones - 12cm (B&H # AUWSS2012), Movo Photo WS-G120 Furry Rigid Windscreen for Microphones up to 4.7" Long and 18 to 23mm in Diameter (B&H # MOWSG120) or Movo Photo WS-G100 Furry Rigid Windscreen for Microphones up to 3.9" Long and 18 to 23mm in Diameter (B&H # MOWSG100) may be a better option. There are options for the same windscreen in shorter lengths if you want to cover a smaller portion of the mic and you will see a drop-down menu for the available options on the item page.
