The Rycote Super-Softie Kit 416 Windshield and Universal Shotgun Mount Kit is specifically designed to be compatible with Sennheiser MKH416 microphones, Neumann KMR 81i mics, and other similar models. The unique slip-on windshield of this kit has an aerodynamic shape and is made from Rycote's patented 3D-Tex material, allowing it to effectively reduce wind noise while maintaining acoustic transparency. This makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of sound recording applications, including video production and ENG (electronic news gathering).
One notable feature of the Super-Softie is its lack of a rigid internal structure, minimising any distortion of the microphone's polar pattern. Its durable design ensures reliable performance even in challenging environments. Additionally, if the Super-Softie gets wet from rain, it can be easily squeezed out and dried quickly. Likewise, if it accumulates dust, it can be rinsed off without any impact on its functionality.
To further enhance its usability, the kit also includes a shoe adapter, allowing for easy attachment to cameras via a hot or cold shoe.
