Stereo Windshield WS AE ORTF Kit (LEMO)

Product Code: 080212

Stereo Windshield WS AE ORTF Kit (LEMO) is suitable for ORTF configuration with compact condenser microphones including a Schoeps CCM pair. (LEMO Connbox included)

Main Benefits:

• Complete kit for ORTF for a pair of Schoeps CCM microphones
• LEMO Connbox provides an additional level of isolation from cable-borne noise
• More robust: elastic bands have been replaced by the virtually unbreakable Lyre suspensions
• Light-weight system is fast and easy to set up
• Outstanding isolation from shocks and vibrations

The Stereo Windshield WS AE ORTF Kit (LEMO) includes a Connbox with detachable 130mm Binder cables with LEMO termination for use with Schoeps CCM mics and a Binder to 5-pin XLR output cable for additional protection from cable-borne noise. It also includes a Lyre suspension, a cable clamp, and a 145mm Stereo Windshield & Windjammer large enough to comfortably accommodate the microphones. A specially designed Rycote mounting adapter bar keeps the microphones at the correct spacing and angle for ORTF recording, and the Lyre suspension and shared windshield combine to provide a solution that is extremely resistant to wind noise and unwanted vibrations and handling noise.

The Rycote ORTF Kits are perfect for ORTF stereo recording which was pioneered by the engineers at the French state broadcaster in the 1960s, and is defined as using a stereo pair of microphones with the capsules spaced 17cm apart, and at an angle of 110 degrees to each other.

In addition to the LEMO version, we offer two other variants of the ORTF kit:

Stereo Windshield WS AE ORTF Kit (MZL) includes a Connbox with detachable 130mm Binder cables with Lemo termination for use with Sennheiser MKH 8000 Series mics and a Binder to 5-pin XLR output cable.

Stereo Windshield WS AE ORTF Kit (Connbox not included), suitable for a pair of Schoeps CCM or Sennheiser MKH 8000 mics.

The windshield body length is calculated by adding microphone length + XLR (5 cm or 2”) of the LONGEST microphone, in the M/S pair.

The suspension is determined by the diameter of the microphones. Any combination of the following can be made: 19 mm, 21 mm, 25 mm Round & 25 mm Square (for example for the MKH 416/MKH 30 the clips are 19/25Rd & 19/25Sq)

Stickies Advanced 20mm Squared (Bag of 100)

Product Code: 066329

Contents: 100 x Stickies Adv, 20mm Squared

Stickies Advanced are double-sided, hypoallergenic, adhesive pads used to affix lavalier microphones directly onto skin or on top of clothing. The soft fabric sandwiched between the two adhesive pads prevents the adhered mic from creaking due to skin or clothing movement. Stickies Advanced are designed to remain secure when attached to a dry surface and are intended to be discarded after use.

Key features

• Stickier hypoallergenic adhesive on both sides;
• Supplied loose with easy peel-off tabs to make use easier;
• Round – larger diameter means perfect for use with the ever-popular DPA Concealers;
• O’s – allow wind protection on DPA Concealers, or folded-over with Overcovers;
• Squared – perfect for use with Sanken RM-11 (the rubber mount produced for the ubiquitous Sanken ‘COS-11’ mic) & for general cable management on radio mics.

Super-Shield Kit, Medium

Product Code: 010321

The Super-Shield Kit is a complete windshield and shock mounting system for shotgun microphones from 200-250mm in length

Main Benefits:

• Lightweight basket windshield system with a minimum number of parts, simple to use.
• Configurable for aerodynamic and centre-of-mass balance.
• Excellent wind noise reduction and lyre-standard isolation from handling noise.
• Removable fur Windjammer to add the highest levels of wind noise suppression.

The Super-Shield Kit is a complete windshield and shock mounting system for shotgun microphones from 200-250mm in length.

Suspension

The Super-Shield Suspension provides your microphone isolation from shocks and vibrations, thanks to its patented Lyre technology. The Lyre cuts handling noise with any axial microphones, without the use of rubbers or elastic and is the accepted broadcast industry standard. The suspension is suitable for microphones 19mm (3/4”) to 25mm (1”) in shaft diameter, using two snap-in, pinch-release Lyre suspensions, that can be slotted into any of six positions for perfect balance and fit. The suspension comes supplied with an 18” (450mm) highly flexibility microphone cable.

Windshield

The Super-Shield Windshield is made up from two “pods” which attach to the central chassis. They are lightweight, durable baskets made from flexible grey plastic netting with a screening material attached. The windshield has a twist lock system onto the suspension chassis ring, and when fitted completely surround the whole microphone, connector and suspension. This system creates a still volume of air around the microphone, which provides excellent wind-noise reduction, with minimal High-Frequency loss.

Windjammer

The Windjammer is a high-quality synthetic fur cover which provides excellent protection against extreme wind noise.
The Super-Shield Windjammer is handmade in the UK from highest quality materials available, which are specially designed and manufactured for the purpose. As a result it has very little detrimental effect on the high frequencies in the audio being captured.

Tech Specs

Suitable for: Mics 19/25mm, from 200-250mm length
Body length: 300mm
Overall Length: 400mm
Max. Diameter: 100mm
Net Weight*: 662 gram
