Rycote Cyclone – Various Sizes
The Rycote Cyclone features advanced 3D-Tex® material which provides a neutral appearance and superior performance over standard basket solutions, with excellent acoustic transparency and superb attenuation of wind-noise. Covering a lightweight yet durable chassis, Cyclone models are designed to withstand the extremes of the field for reliable, daily use – to deliver the consistent results location audio professionals depend on. The Rycote Cyclones also feature superb acoustic transparency. Designed with an open shell structure consisting of curved contours and no straight or parallel surfaces, it greatly reduces room-tone effects inherent in conventional tubular windshield designs.
This aerodynamically efficient asymmetric basket covered with 3D-Tex material provides enormous benefits in terms of surface turbulence and acoustic impedance, resulting in wind-noise reduction comparable to the combined modular-style windshield / fur cover performance. In truly extreme weather conditions, an optional Cyclone Windjammer can be used to deliver wind-noise reduction that far exceeds any other windshield system available today.
3D Tex® Material – 3D-Tex® material provides enormous benefits in terms of surface turbulence and acoustic impedance.
Magnetic Z-Locking System – Magnetic Z-Locking System that can be opened and closed in the blink of an eye – using just one hand.
Multi Suspension – Cyclone takes the Lyre® microphone suspension and incorporates it in a Floating Basket Suspension.
Three sizes:Â
Cyclone Small
Cyclone Small delivers outstanding performance for small diaphragm condenser and short shotgun microphones alike. An Offset Link bracket is included, to provide mic axis articulation if required for ideal microphone placement.
Cyclone Medium
With a premium, short XLR, the Cyclone Medium fits a wide range of microphone sizes.
This Cyclone family member accommodates not only short shotgun microphones, but also many popular shotgun microphones too— all in a compact chassis for maximum wind and handling performance with minimal weight.
Cyclone Large
It has been updated with a durable, grey 3D-Tex material.
Used with many shotgun microphones, the latest Cyclone Large maintains industry-leading performance with a neutral appearance.
