Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. The spec says it fits mics 1.9" Diameter but I think it's wrong. What's the actual diameter it fits?

A: The Rycote Mini Windjammer Special 90 is specifically designed for use over a foam windshield of 50 mm diameter and 90 mm long. The 1.9" diameter mentioned in the product description is actually in reference to the diameter of a compatible foam windscreen (50mm = 1.9").

Q: 2. Will it fit a Rode Reporter mic?

A: The correct windjammer for the Rode reporter would be B&H# RYWJ3550FW. You may also consider the Rycote FWS-35/50 foam screen for an extra layer of protection.

Q: 3. Will this fit the Sony HXR-NX5U?

A: The Sony HXR-NX5U is a camera. If you are looking to put a windscreen on the shotgun mic that is on the camera, this windscreen would not fit. There is not a windscreen made specifically to fit over the built-in stereo mic on the camera.

Q: 4. Does this completely replace the stock foam windscreen or do you use them both together?

A: This replaces the stock one completely. It fits very snugly over the microphones.

Q: 5. Can this windjammer be used with a Sennheiser ME-2 lav mic? That lav mic is not listed on the compatible list.

A: Yes! The foam inserts don't fit on the mic but it's big enough that the elastic on the windjammer will slip over the element and stay there.

Q: 6. How would this fit an Electro-voice RE50?

A: The mechanical specs for the RE50 show a maximum diameter of nearly 2 inches. It looks like the Mini Windjammer will expand to only about an inch. I do not think that these two were meant for each other.

Q: 7. Could a right-angle adapter fit in the headphone jack under the screen? Or would the screen be too tight for any clearance?

A: The Rycote Tascam DR-40 Mini Windjammer should provide enough leeway for a right-angled headphone adapter to be used with the Tascam DR-40 Recorder while the windjammer is in place.

Q: 8. Will this fit the Videomic Pro+ ?

A: No, this Rycote Mini Windjammer is intended for use with a different mic. For the VideoMic Pro+, you can use the Rycote Mini Windjammer for Rode VMP+ (B&H # RY055470) or Rode DeadCat VMPR+ Artificial Fur Windshield for VideoMic Pro Plus Microphone (B&H # RODEADCATVPP).

Q: 9. Specifically for Rycote Mini Windjammer; Is this a full cover with foam substrate, or just the furry cover?

A: The Rycote Mini Windjammer is a fur cover only, designed to slip over a microphone's foam windshield.

Q: 10. Would this work on the Sennheiser ME2?

A: Hi Timm,I believe it will work, although our official recommendation based on testing is the following:a href= http://mymic.rycote.com/products/lavalier-solutions/lavalier-windjammer/black-lavalier-windjammer/ target= _blank http://mymic.rycote.com/products/lavalier-solutions/lavalier-windjammer/black-lavalier-windjammer//aThere is a slight difference in capsule diameter and length, but the 4080 Mini WJ should cover everything as intended. Please note that you probably won't be able to use the supplied clip with the ME 2 if you use this solution.
