Rycote Classic-Softie Kit
The Rycote Classic-Softie Kit is a professional windshield and shock mount system for shotgun microphones used in ENG, broadcast, and location recording. Each kit pairs a Classic-Softie windshield with a Lyre shock mount and pistol grip handle, providing up to 40 dB of wind noise reduction alongside complete isolation from handling noise, vibration, and cable-borne noise via the patented Lyre suspension system. The Lyre elements are manufactured from a specially engineered thermoplastic that does not stretch, perish, or lose tension over time, offering more consistent and durable performance than traditional elastic band mounts. The Classic-Softie is a slip-on open-cell foam windshield with an integral fur cover, handmade in the United Kingdom. It is available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate most popular shotgun microphones. The pistol grip handle provides a secure, ergonomic hold for handheld operation and features a standard 3/8"-16 thread at the base for boom pole and stand mounting. Available in multiple sizes to suit different microphone lengths and diameters.
