Cinela LEO Wind Protection Ball

Description

Cinela LEO Wind Protection Ball

Cinela LEO — The LEONARD (LEO) is a wind protection ball for 20mm or 25mm diameter microphones (please select from drop down menu above). Main fabric for indoor use (similar to the Zephyx). Compatible with the standard configuration CMC/OSIX 2. Optional fur available.

Product Overview

The LEONARD ball is a detachable front windscreen designed for interference tube-free microphones. Like other windscreens for microphones sensitive to sound pressure gradients (such as cardioid or hyper-cardioid), it creates a cavity around the microphone capsule to minimize pressure differences across the membrane.

The primary layer is crafted from a 3D fabric with carefully selected porosity (similar to Zephyx, Piano, and Pianissimo models) for optimal indoor performance. An optional removable fur layer can be added for outdoor use.

Compared to its larger counterparts (Piano, Pianissimo, and Zephyx), the LEONARD ball has a more compact design, striking a delicate balance between size, wind protection, and acoustic transparency. With a 10cm diameter (without fur), it achieves effective wind reduction while maintaining minimal sound degradation. Watch the full test and comparison in this video.
