Nano Shield
Setting a new standard
Rycote® has pushed our windshield kits to another level with the creation of the Nano Shield. Although the blimp shape may look familiar from afar, a closer look reveals several new design and engineering features that make it our most advanced windshield kit yet. The Nano Shield offers an enhanced level of wind protection paired with improved acoustic transparency. The kits are smaller and on average weigh 30% lighter than Modular Windshield Kits. The new advanced Lyre® mounts are also more compliant and offer better handling noise reduction. Overall the Nano Shield Kits raise the bar for performance and versatility.
16

01. BASKET SYSTEMS // 02 // 03 // 04 // 05 // 06 // 07

KEY FEATURES

Mix-n-Match Design
The Nano Shield kits use a unique magnetic locking basket design which can be configured to fit various microphone sizes by simply swapping out basket halves. Each size of basket half can interlock with any other size. They also have two manual locking sliders to hold everything secure and noise free. Quickly and easily access mics by simply pulling the halves apart.

Advanced Lyre Mounts
Rycote® has advanced our patented Lyre® mount and redesigned them specifically for the Nano Shield kits. While the basic shape might look similar, the material, thickness, center of gravity and mechanical properties have been engineered to provide a more compliant handling response in the direction the microphone is pointing whilst giving more stability in other directions to prevent mics from `bottoming-out’ or moving side-to-side.

No Tools Required
The Lyre® mounts and mounting bar on the Nano Shield can be adjusted, repositioned or swapped out by loosening / tightening the thumbwheel attached to the bar. Likewise, the swivel arm can be repositioned by loosening the friction braking wheel with interchangeable adaptors for an integrated PCS tip or 3/8” thread.

What’s in the box
Nano Shield Kits come complete and ready to use out of the box. The basket design and available layers of shielding allow you to customize the level of wind protection to meet your needs. In addition, the patented mounting bar and Lyre mounts can be repositioned, swapped out and taken apart without the need for any tools.

Baseball
A whole new ball game!
This ingenious little 3″ windscreen has been designed for interior boom pole use, greatly reducing unwanted ‘swooshes’ during fast swings and other rapid movements. The Baseball is fitted with a soft yet durable end-cap. Made of thermoplastic elastomer a unique plastic and rubber mix the end-cap helps secure the mic and provides an effective seal against wind. The Baseball comes in `19/20′, ’21/22′ (green end-cap) and `24/25′ variants, reflecting compatible microphone diameters in mm. All versions have the same exterior dimensions, but come with different internal bore diameters to fit a variety of industry-standard microphones.

01 // 02.SLIP-ON SYSTEMS // 03 // 04 // 05 // 06 // 07

KEY FEATURES

Minimise the `Swoosh’ when booming!
Incredibly lightweight (Just 17g*) and offering significantly increased performance over conventional foam windscreens, the baseball is ideal for fast/deep booming and plosive reduction. It also helps to protect your mic.
– Significantly increased performance versus conventional foam windscreens;
– Provides -30dB of wind noise attenuation, across the frequency spectrum;
– Rapid attachment and removal; – Durable and easily maintained;
– Offers capsule protection to the mic (during scene `down-time’ and equipment changes);
– Acoustically transparent open cell foam and soft felt cover construction;
– Handmade in the UK.

Capture the performance
The Baseball is fantastic for interior boom pole use… but that’s not the whole story. The Baseball 21/22 is compatible with some very popular mics used for pro-audio music applications (e.g. the Neumann KM180 series). This Baseball model is a great choice for recording instruments with these mics partner it with the Baseball Windjammer® to capture the performance in stage/concert environments too.
Go faster
The Baseball Windjammer® is an incredibly useful little add-on product for the Baseball, allowing for even faster/deeper boom swings indoors. Importantly, with the Windjammer fitted, the Baseball can now also be used outdoors in light winds. The Baseball Windjammer® comes in one size, which fits all our Baseball variants, i.e. 19/20mm, 21/22mm and 24/25mm. Weighing just 15g*, the Baseball Windjammer adds very little extra size or weight when fitted to the Baseball. Adding a Baseball Windjammer® to the Baseball brings a very useful extra 10dB of wind noise attenuation, across the spectrum. So, the performance of the Baseball with the Windjammer fitted is -40dB wind noise attenuation, across the frequency spectrum.
* Please note that dimensions and weights could be approximate.

InVision Universal Studio Mount
For side-address microphones
USM – the Universal Studio Mount is a purpose-built shock mount designed to fit practically any side-address microphone. The unparalleled flexibility of the InVision® USM allows for unprecedented fast setup in studio and `live’ applications. Its unique, adjustable, universal locking system can be quickly adjusted to securely fit a wide range of microphones. With just a handful of models, the InVision® USM range covers a huge range of microphones, of various diameters, with models that provide peak performance for both lighter and heavier side-address mics alike.
KEY FEATURES

Say goodbye to expensive, fragile elastic suspensions
The USM utilises specially designed clips with Rycote® patented Lyre® technology. Made from robust Hytrel thermoplastic, the USM will never sag or need rethreading. This virtually indestructible, innovative design provides an additional 12 dB
of isolation, compared to conventional elastic suspensions.

InVision Universal Studio Mount Kits with Pop Filter
Rycote® has advanced our patented Lyre mount and redesigned them specifically for the Nano Shield kits. While the basic shape might look similar, the material, thickness, center of gravity and mechanical properties have been engineered to provide a more compliant handling response in the direction the microphone is pointing whilst giving more stability in other directions to prevent mics from `bottoming-out’ or moving side-to-side.

InVision Studio Suspensions
For miniature, probe, handheld, and shotgun microphones
InVision® Studio Suspensions provide unparalleled protection against shock, vibration, and handling noise for miniature, probe, hand-held, and shotgun microphones. Utilising Rycote® patented Lyre® technology, these shock mounts are virtually unbreakable and effective at any temperature. For additional protection, all models are designed with an integral cable clamp to isolate cable vibration from the microphone.

Duo-Lyre shock mount
All of these InVision® microphone suspensions for camera mounting utilise the Duo-Lyre shock mount. Also available on the INV-7 HG Mk III stand and boom pole mounting, the Duo-Lyre is designed to hold the microphone towards the back while supporting the majority of the weight at the front to accommodate slip-on wind protection such as the Classic-Softie, Super Softie®, and BBG Windshields.

InVision Video Hot Shoe Mount
Designed specifically for mounting to a camera or camcorder hot shoe, this Duo-Lyre shock mount provides excellent protection from camera motor and drive noise, and vibrations, and is a substantial improvement over traditional on-camera microphone mounts. Professional isolation is provided by the Duo-Lyre suspension, which is attached to a mounting bar for secure attachment into the slot of the hot shoe mount on top of the camera. The mount can be rotated through 360 degrees around the camera shoe, for flexibility and ease of use. The additional height of the mount also allows for the microphone and windscreen to be held up and behind the lens, to keep it out of shot.
InVision® Video ¼” Adaptor
Designed for mounting to the 1/4″ thread found on top of many cameras, this lightweight, durable clamp-style shock mount securely holds the microphone in place. Accommodating microphones between 19-25 mm in diameter, the clip is attached to the durable Duo-Lyre shock mount to provide industry-leading handling noise isolation while protecting the microphone from vibration and noise caused by the camera motor and drive.

Windjammer
Lavalier Windjammer
Perfect for use in windy outdoor conditions in news, documentary, and interview applications, the Lavalier Windjammer ®provides excellent wind-noise and plosive protection. Offering superb wind isolation for Lavalier mics, these robust problem-solvers work with lavalier mics on clips or necklaces, can be pinned to clothing, and can even be used underneath clothing layers to remove unwanted `rustling’ noise. A foam connector with a rubber ring ensures secure connection to the microphone.

Ristretto Windjammer
The Rycote® Ristretto Windjammer® is also designed to significantly reduce wind noise and plosives on lavalier microphones. As broadcasters often prefer their microphones and wind protection to remain as unobtrusive as possible when on camera, we have designed`The Ristretto’to offer wind protection for lavalier microphones but with a more discreet appearance, as the fur is considerably shorter than that on the Rycote® Lavalier Windjammer®. The Ristretto Windjammer® is secured to a microphone by a foam connector with a rubber ring for grip and retention.

Noise-free connection
Crucially for professional audio use, the PCS-Boom Connector is designed to remain completely secure and noise-free during use… essential for anything going on the end of a boom pole!
The thread connection is a highgrade aluminium, with a twin locking screw arrangement. The connection grips the boom pole thread, without damaging it and makes for a reassuringly solid connection.

Easy connection & release mechanism.
With its easy one handed `clickin’ attachment and pull collar release mechanism, the PCSBoom Connector provides incredibly fast and easy operation.
The positive `click’ on being pressed in and fitted gives you the confidence that it is connected and secure. Releasing is a simple matter of pulling down the outer collar on the PCS-Boom Connector completely intuitive.

Simply `click` and boom!
The PCS `tip’ locks into any 3/8″ female threaded windshield kit/ shock-mount made by Rycote or other manufacturers and stays fitted.
The Connector attaches securely to the boom pole. Connection/ release is then a quick and easy `click’ in/pull-out operation! This allows for super-fast swapping of your different mics (and windshield kits) on and off… perfect for all manner of production sound recording applications!

Professional Connection System Range

Easy, Solid and Noise-free
The Professional Connection System (`PCS’) is the all-new quick attach/quick release connection system from Rycote®. The first Rycote® PCS product is the new PCS-Boom Connector, which has been designed for professional boom pole use. Rycote® has built on the PCS Boom Connector’s success to create a complete system for quicker, more secure, and less complicated workflow than sound professionals have been able to enjoy so far. Rycote ®has developed the new system in response to the clear need for assisting production sound mixers, boom ops, sound recordists and audio engineers – whether in the field, studio, theatre, or at live events – in achieving a quick and simple workflow.

KEY FEATURES

01 // 02 // 03 // 04 // 05 // 06 // 07. ACCESSORIES

No elasticated parts
The patented Lyre® are extremely robust, and virtually unbreakable, as they do not use no elastic or rubber components which are prone to wear and tear. These completely backward compatible Lyre® have replaced the original silicone O-rings suspension, and can be bought separately to upgrade older suspensions.

Virtually unbreakable
The Hytrel material that Rycote® uses not only damps smoothly but maintains its characteristics even down to arctic temperatures. It also has a `shape memory’ that allows it to be tied in eye-watering knots without developing a permanent `set’ or snapping!

Enhanced Technology
The Lyre® has now been enhanced with a soft-grip internal surface on the mic clip. The soft-grip helps prevent the mic twisting or slipping, and helps prevent the clip from scratching the surface of the microphones, which are often powder-coated.

Lyre hardness options
The lower the number (measured in `Shore’ rating), the softer the Lyre®. So, a 62 Shore Lyre® is softer than a 72 Shore, and the 82 Shore Lyre® is the stiffest we make. The different hardness rating of the Lyre can be identified by their colour combinations.
Upgrade Lyre kits are available to convert previous rubber & elastic Rycote® suspensions.

Clever, versatile and virtually unbreakable
Rycote® shock-mounts & suspensions feature patented Rycote® Lyre® technology, for superior shock isolation against handling noise. Think of the Lyre® like a `shock absorber’ the clever design providing highly accurate control of compliance in 3 directional axes to brilliantly isolate your microphone from handling noise. Lyre® are extremely robust, virtually unbreakable in fact, and they do not use elastic or rubber components which are prone to wear and tear.

Lightweight and extremely hard-wearing
Rycote’s Microphone Flags are lightweight, sponsorship friendly and built for longevity. Our design team removed their weakest link perishable foam inserts, replacing them with hard-wearing rubber vanes so they are just as effective tomorrow as they are today.
KEY FEATURES

Innovative microphone grip
The Mic Flags are made from durable shatterproof moulded plastic. An array of internally fitted hard-wearing red and black rubber `vanes’ secures the flag around the microphone, allowing the Rycote® Mic Flags to be used with any microphones.

Fits large or small mics
The Mic Flag will securely hold smaller mics, from 19 to 32mm diameter. Simply un-slot and remove all the vanes of one of the colours (either all the black vanes or all the red ones) and the Mic Flag will now accommodate larger mics, up to 38mm in diameter.

Branding
Rycote Mic Flags provide a large printable area for sponsors’ logos. Three and four-sided Flags are available, in either black or white. The square Flag offers a printable logo area 57mm wide by 48mm high on each of its four sides; while the printable area of each side of the triangular Flag measure 89.5mm
wide by 48mm.

Designed to greatly reduce handling & cable-borne noise
The Connbox has been designed to isolate and greatly reduce handling and cable-borne noise to the microphone. An effective and ready-to-use solution to connection problems, the Connbox will enable professional sound recordists to achieve clean, high quality audio recordings.

KEY FEATURES
High quality components
The Connbox is made of the highest quality components, using a Gold 5-pin Neutrik X-series XLR connector, and an ultra soft Mogami star-quad cable. Isolates and minimises handling and cable-borne noise. Greatly improves audio quality of recordings. A ready-to-use solution to connection problems

Ready-to-use solution
Acting as a transition connector and anchor point for the microphone tail, the lengths of cable are set to work perfectly with the microphone fitted in the windshield, without touching the internal surface of the basket. The soft cable then greatly reduces the transmission path of cable-borne noise, thus
further reducing cable rumble.

Duck Raincover
The Rycote® Duck Raincover is available in different sizes to fit a wide variety of our windshield kits, and is an indispensable accessory for recording in wet weather conditions. The `Duck’ is made of open cell foam that helps diffuse the sound made by rain droplets landing on it. The design of the weatherproof back cover, provides areas of `space’ between it and the windshield/Windjammer, helping to minimise transmission of rain noise and allowing water to flow away from the windshield.

Hi-Wind Cover
The Hi-Wind Cover is designed to fit the Modular Windshield Kit to offer up to 35dB in wind noise reduction. It is manufactured from a durable black `fleece’ material and is easy to fit `in the field’ by simply sliding it over the windshield basket, and securing in place with hook and loop fastening pads. The HiWind Cover provides added flexibility, offering a level of wind protection performance that’s greater than the basket on its own, but less than the basket with a Windjammer fitted.
