Rycote Portable Recorder Audio Kit

Rycote’s portable Recorder Audio Kit includes:

• Portable Recorder Suspension
• Mini Windjammer
• Soft-Grip Extension Handle
• Hot Shoe Adaptor

A combined Windshield and Suspension solution, the kit contains everything needed to protect a handheld digital recorder from outdoor wind noise, and also to isolate it from unwanted vibrations, whether from handling or stand-borne noise. It is aimed at journalists, film-makers, or anyone using a handheld digital recorder to make professional-quality audio recordings outdoors. It can be used for location soundtracks or outside broadcast, or for simple audio podcasts or outdoor radio reporting.

Featuring the new 1/4″ to 3/8″ Swivel Adaptor, the suspension fits any portable recorder with a 1/4″ female thread. The suspension can then be mounted on a 3/8″ male thread, mic stand or boom pole, or be attached to a camera hot shoe. The 180ﾰ swivel allows for easy orientation of the recorder so it can point in the exact direction of the speaker.

Benefits

• Reduce handling noise and vibrations for cleaner audio recordings
• Allows recorder to be mounted on: camera hot shoe, boom poles, stands, etc
• The 180-degree swivel allows for easy orientation of the recorder so it can point in the exact direction of the speaker

Portable Recorder Suspension

A new Lyre-based suspension for portable recorders, the suspension offers excellent isolation from vibrations, shocks and handling noise. Featuring the new 1/4″ to 3/8″ Swivel Adaptor, the suspension fits any portable recorder with a 1/4″ female thread. The suspension can then be mounted on a 3/8″ male thread, mic stand or boom pole, or be attached to a camera hot shoe. The 180ﾰ swivel allows for easy orientation of the recorder so it can point in the exact direction of the speaker.

The suspension uses the patented “Lyres” to give unequaled isolation & robustness. Unlike rubber or elastic suspensions the Lyre is unaffected by temperature extremes, and so can be used in the harshest of environments.

Mini Windjammer for Audio Recorder

Rycote’s Mini Windjammer range has expanded tremendously in recent years with the introduction of compact slip-on fur windjammers for the growing numbers of portable handheld digital recorders, as used by journalists, podcasters and broadcasters everywhere. These devices are now available in such a range of shapes, sizes and types (mono and stereo), that slightly different custom Windjammer designs are needed for each one; over a dozen types are currently available.
