The Windjammer is high a quality synthetic fur cover, designed to fit perfectly over the Modular Windshield. It gives an additional 20dB of wind noise attenuation. Fitted with a drawstring & toggle to allow snug and easy fitting.

Q: 2. Can be used with Microphone Deity S-mic 2s?

A: The Rycote 086003 Windshield Kit 2 Complete Windshield and Suspension System is compatible for use with the Deity Microphones S-Mic 2S Short Shotgun Microphone. The windshield kit accommodates small microphones that measure 4.8 to 6.3" (121 to 160mm) in length with a diameter of 0.75 to 0.98" (19 to 25mm). The S-Mic 2S is 5.8" (148mm) long and has a diameter of 0.75" (19mm).

Q: 3. 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: 4. Will the Sanken cs1 mic be compatible with this?

A: No, the Rycote Windshield Kit 10 is not large enough for a Sanken CS-1e.

Q: 5. Can this be used with the Sennheiser MKH 8060?

A: No. The Rycote Modular Windshield Kit WS 3 includes the Connbox CB4 which is compatible for use with stereo microphones that have a 5-pin XLR connector. The Sennheiser MKH 8060 Short Shotgun Microphone uses a standard 3-pin XLR connector. A similar compatible windshield kit is the Rycote 086067 Modular Windshield WS 1 Kit MZL for the Sennheiser MKH 8060 Microphone (B&H # RYMWS1MZLKIT). You can also use the Rycote 010320 Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics - Small (B&H # RYSSKS) or the RODE Blimp Windshield and Rycote Shock Mount Suspension System for Shotgun Microphones (B&H # ROBLIMPR).

Q: 6. Can this accomodate a Sanken CS-M1?

A: No. The Rycote WS 9 Modular Windshield Kit is not compatible for use with the Sanken CS-M1 Ultracompact Shotgun Microphone. The WS 9 Windshield is intended for use with microphones that are up to 3.9" long and the CS-M1 is just over that at 4.06" long. As a compatible option, you can use the Rycote Modular Windshield WS 1 Kit MZL (B&H # RYMWS1MZLKIT) which is intended for use with microphones that are 2.8 to 4.7" (71 to 120mm) long.

Q: 7. Will the Sennheiser MKE 600 work with this Blimp?

A: This blimp system is made specifically for stereo microphones, so would not be appropriate for a mono shotgun mic.. I would consider the Rode Blimp Windshield and Rycote Shock Mount Suspension System for Shotgun Microphones, BH #ROBLIMPR or the Rycote Windshield Kit for Sennheiser MKH416 & Other Select Shotgun Microphones, BH# RYWMKH416, which would both accommodate the Sennheiser ME66, with the K6 powering module.

Q: 8. I use this with my CMC641, but would like to get a miniCMIT. Any one know if it will work with that?

A: Hi Veronica. Yes, it will definitely work.

Q: 9. does this fit sennheiser mke 600?

A: Yes, the Rycote Windshield Kit 4 will fit the Sennheiser MKE 600 microphone. You can also use the Rycote Super-Blimp Kit for Rode NTG & Shotgun Mics 11" Length, 0.7-0.9" Diameter (B&H # RYWKNTG) or the Rycote Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics - Medium (B&H # RYSSKM) or the Rode Blimp Windshield and Rycote Shock Mount Suspension System for Shotgun Microphones (B&H # ROBLIMPR).

Q: 10. Can anyone tell me the thread size on the bottom of this unit (for boom pole, etc)? I need to adapt it to an old-school mic stand. Thanks!

A: Hi Jeff: thanks for your question. It's 3/8 . If your old-school stand is 5/8 , you can use the following adapter: a href= http://mymic.rycote.com/products/brass-3_8-m-to-5_8-f-screw-adaptor/. target= _blank http://mymic.rycote.com/products/brass-3_8-m-to-5_8-f-screw-adaptor/./a Basically, any 3/8 M to required size adapter will work.
