Rycote Stereo Cyclone Windshield Kit
The Rycote Stereo Cyclone is the Cyclone windshield system built for stereo recording. Each kit is designed around a specific stereo microphone or pairing, including M/S, X/Y, and Ambisonic setups.
The lightweight, durable basket is covered in 3D-Tex, which strongly reduces wind noise. Its Z-locking halves open on swivel latches for quick access to the mics.
A brass 3/8-inch UNC female thread takes a boom pole or stand. The safe operating range is −20 to 38 °C.
Choosing a Kit
Each option gives Rycote’s kit name and the microphones it holds, so pick the one that matches your array. XY Kit 1, for example, holds a Sennheiser MKH 8040 X/Y pair. The table below names each kit’s microphones in full.
