The Shotgun Mic Foam and Windjammer Combo from Rycote is a slip-on wind solution for Sennheiser MKH 60 and Sony ECM 672 shotgun microphones. The foam features a 7" inner depth and a large 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this shotgun mic work outdoors for wildlife and birds chirping long distances away?

A: Shotgun mics by design are generally used to capture audio up to roughly 6 feet away. The closer, the better the audio. While sound outside of that can still be captured, it will not be as detailed due to proximity effect. In order to capture audio (example 50 feet away) you would need a parabolic dish such as this one JOJSPM . The shotgun mic is pointed toward the dish and that allows it to capture audio from further distances.

Q: 2. 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: 3. this blimp has enough room inside for the ambient emesser 308?

A: As the Ambient Recording Emesser ATE308 Figure-8 Microphone is quite small in its form factor, the Rycote Windshield Kit for Sennheiser MKH 416 and Select Shotgun Microphones would provide more than enough room to house it within.

Q: 4. Which size is the best for the Sennheiser mkh50? Thanks.

A: For the Sennheiser MKH 50 we would recommend a Rycote Baseball Felt-Covered Windscreen (Black, 24/25mm, Single, B&H # RY039702) or a Rycote Classic Softie Wind-Screen (1.9" Long, 0.9" Diameter Hole, Grey, B&H # RYS5L).

Q: 6. Is the Diameter Hole of the Rycote Baseball 19/20 0.7" or 0.8"?

A: The Rycote Baseball 19/20 has an adjustable opening with flexible tabs that will fit microphones that have a diameter of 19 to 20mm. It is better to use the metric measurements which are much more accurate than the rounded off imperial measurements as 19mm = 0.75" and 20mm = 0.79".

Q: 7. What's the difference between this cavity-type baseball and the original one?

Q: 8. I can see on Rycote's own website that this is compatible with the Zoom SGH-6 shotgun mic. Does it also fit the newer Zoom SSH-6 stereo shotgun mic?
