Rycote Classic-Softie Windshield - 5cm (19/22)

Professional location recording demands reliable wind protection that won't compromise your audio quality, and the Softie Windshield stands as the industry standard trusted by television professionals worldwide. This slip-on open-cell foam windshield features an integral fur cover, providing robust protection for shotgun microphones in challenging outdoor environments. The specialised acoustic foam and synthetic fur materials work together to achieve up to 25 dB of wind-noise reduction whilst maintaining pristine high-frequency response.

Built to withstand harsh conditions, the Softie utilises advanced materials and assembly techniques that resist UV damage and moisture, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding field applications. The foam construction protects your microphone investment whilst delivering the quick, simple, and cost-effective wind protection that location recording professionals require.

Available in two fur length options, the classic Softie offers maximum wind protection, while the Camera-Mounted Softie features closely cropped dark grey synthetic fur for a lower profile design. The short-haired variant provides compact mounting near camera lenses without creating unwanted shadows, making it ideal for video production work. This windshield suits small diaphragm condenser microphones with slots positioned within 5 cm of the microphone front and diameters ranging from 19-22 mm.
