The medium Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics from Rycote is a complete windshield and shock mounting system for shotgun microphones 20-25cm in length. The kit contains the Super-Shield Suspension which provides your microphone isolation from shocks and vibrations, the Super-Shield Windshield which provides wind-noise reduction with minimal high-frequency loss, and the Windjammer, a high-quality synthetic fur cover which provides protection against extreme wind noise.

The Super-Shield Suspension features patented Lyre technology, which provides your microphone isolation from shocks and vibrations without the use of rubbers or elastic. The chassis fits microphones 19mm (3/4") to 25mm (1") in diameter, using two snap-in, pinch-release Lyre suspensions that can be used in any of six positions to achieve the optimal balance and fit. The suspension comes with an 18" (450mm) high flexibility microphone cable.

Made up of two lightweight, durable baskets made from flexible grey plastic netting with a screening material attached, the Super-Shield Windshield connects to the Super-Shield Suspension. The windshield completely surrounds and creates a still volume of air around the microphone, which is designed to provide wind-noise reduction, with minimal high-frequency loss.

The Super-Shield Windjammer is a synthetic fur cover which provides another layer of protection to be used to combat extreme wind noise. Like the Super-Shield Windshield, it is designed to protect from wind without substantial high-frequency loss.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. It's compatible whit Deity S mic 2s?

A: No. The Rycote 033202 Super Softie Windshield for Shotgun Mic (5.9" Long, 0.7 to 0.9" Diameter) is too long for use with the Deity S-Mic 2S Short Shotgun Microphone. The S-Mic 2S is 5.83" (148mm) long and the inside depth of the windshield is 5.9" (150mm) long, so which is longer than the length of the microphone. The Rycote 033201 Super Softie Windshield for Shotgun Mic (4.7" Long, 0.7 to 0.9" Diameter) [B&H # RYSS12M] would be a better option. The inside depth of this windshield is 4.7" (120mm).

Q: 2. Can this screw onto a boom pole? If so, what are the thread specs?

A: Yes, the Blimp can be attached to a boompole, threading size is 3/8"

Q: 3. Can Sennheiser MKE 600 fit in this?

A: Hi there,It's not our official recommendation; however, you should (just about) be able to get away with an MKE 600 in the Super-Shield, Medium, since it's only 6mm over our recommended length. We would still recommend the Large, though!If in doubt, it might be an idea to bring the mic along to a dealer and try it inside the Medium, since everyone's needs are different.

Q: 4. 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: 5. Can you purchase extensions for this blimp?

A: A boompole such as : https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/326895-REG/K_Tek_KE_110CC_KE_110CC_Avalon_Series_Aluminum.html Additionally: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1044548-REG/rycote_010321_super_shield_kit_medium.html/accessories

Q: 6. Is there any way to switch out the cable to use with a mid-side mic like the Sanken CMS-50? Do you sell such a cable?

A: Yes, you can replace the cable that is included with the Rycote 010320 Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics (Small). The Sanken CMS-50 Short M-S Stereo Shotgun Microphone has a 5-pin XLR output connector which requires a Y-cable that splits to two 3-pin XLR male connectors like the Sanken SC-532 5-Pin XLR Female to Dual 3-Pin XLR Male Adapter Y-Cable - 1' (B&H # SASC532), the Remote Audio 5-Pin Stereo XLR Female to Dual XLR Male Y-Cable - 18" (B&H # RECAXSTE), or the Sennheiser ACS5 5-pin XLR Female to Dual XLR Male Y Cable for MKH418S and MKE44P Microphones -6" (B&H # SEACS5). You can also make a custom cable yourself or have one made for you with the appropriate connector to fit the windshield and pistol grip.

Q: 7. I have the Rode NTG3B which is 10 inches. Should I get the medium or large for the Rycote Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics. Which one would fit better?

Q: 8. Would this Super-Shield be too large for the DPA 4018B?

A: This windshield kit should be compatible with this version of the 4018, https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1050594-REG/dpa_microphones_4018a_full_size_super_cardioid.html. Any other version may be too small.

Q: 9. Will it fit Synco D1 ?

A: The Synco Mic-D1 Hypercardioid Shotgun Microphone is too long for use within the Rycote Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics (Medium). The Rycote Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics (Large) (BH #RYSSKL) is the proper choice for use with the Synco Mic-D1: https://bhpho.to/3U26PkT

Q: 10. Will my sennheiser 416 fit ?
