As a smaller alternative to the Windjammer, the Rycote Softie by Sanken attenuates high wind and atmospheric noises up to 25dB. The Softie is constructed of an acoustic foam base covered by a specially designed synthetic fur fabric together with a separate shockmount with its own bracket and either pistol grip handle or boom adaptor.

With a thick 10mm coat of fur, this microphone wind protector provides a fast, flexible and cost effective solution for ENG on camera microphones. The Softie is compatible with the Sanken CMS-10.

The special design is compatible with the Sanken CMS-10.

Closely cropped dark grey synthetic fur, just 10mm high, offers lower profile and a more compact design without severely altering the efficiency of the Softie.
