This Rycote Super-Softie Kit 416 Windshield and Universal Shotgun Mount Kit is designed to work with Sennheiser MKH416 microphones, Neumann KMR 81i mics, and more. Its slip-on windshield features an aerodynamic shape and surface structure made from the company's 3D-Tex material, which allows for attenuation of wind noise with acoustic transparency. It is ideal for a variety of sound recording applications including video, ENG, and more.

The Super-Softie has no rigid internal structure, causing virtually no polar-pattern distortion. Its robust design has been engineered for use in challenging environments, and if it becomes rain-soaked, it can be squeezed out and shaken dry expeditiously and with ease. Also, if it becomes coated with dust it can be rinsed quickly without affecting its performance.

Furthermore, the kit includes a shoe adapter for easy camera attachment via hot or cold shoe.

Q: 2. What's the difference between this and the Rycote Baseball? Does this offer better wind attenuation to warrant the price difference? Or is one intended more for indoor/outdoor use?

A: The Rycote Baseball is built with faster, immediate movement in mind to avoid 'swooshing' or movement sounds, when the boom pole needs to make a sudden shift or movement, as well as plosive reduction. The Rycote Super-Softie is made with weather resistance in mind, with a high immunity to rain-soaking and an ideal solution for just about any electronic news gathering application.

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

Q: 9. does anyone use a blimp here? What brand do you recommend? if not, which dead cat/wind screen do you use?

A: I don't use a blimp on the MKE 600, but I due use a Rycote Softie (B&H # RYS15M) that fits perfectly and works okay. I wouldn't rely on the Rycote Softie on a day with wind gusts, but an average windy day is just fine. I use a blimp for our 416 and the difference is definitely demonstrable. In a situation where a blimp is needed, we'd use the MKH 416 anyway.

Q: 10. Hi! is this kit compatible with the mkh 60?

A: The included softie windjammer has too small an inside for the MKH60. You would want this windjammer and shock mount instead, RYINVONCAMSM and BH #RYSS18L.
