Sennheiser MKH 8060 with Rycote Windshield 1 MZL Bundle
The Sennheiser MKH 8060 with Rycote Windshield 1 MZL Bundle reduces the overall length of the MKH 8060 and windshield by using the MZL connector in place of the rear 8060 XLR module. This provides a smaller windshield making it ideal for recording in tight spaces.

Rycote Windshield Kit 1 with MZL
The Modular Windshield WS 1 Kit (MZL) is suitable for the Sennheiser MKH 8060 with its MZX XLR module removed when a compact size is the highest priority.
Main Benefits:
- Flexible, complete windshield and suspension package, which provides varying levels of windshielding for numerous microphone configurations
- The iconic Windshield Kit is the industry standard, and leads the way in windshielding and suspension technology
The Modular Windshield Kit is the professionals’ choice when maximum isolation from wind and handling noise is required.
This complete modular system can be configured to allow almost any microphone to be shock-mounted and provided with varying degrees of windshielding. Components may be ordered separately, or as one of a series of kits, which simplify the selection process for many common configurations. A Modular Windshield Kit is comprised of the following three main components: Modular Suspension, Modular Windshield and Windjammer.
Modular Suspension
The suspensions provides complete isolation against handling noise and cable-borne noises, by supporting the microphone in a cradle arrangement using Lyre suspension webs.
Windshield
The Windshield basket completely surrounds the microphone and its connector, sliding onto the Modular Suspension to provide up to 30dB of wind noise attenuation. This is the first layer of windshielding protection for your microphone.
Windjammer
The Windjammer introduced by Rycote in 1985, is high quality synthetic fur covers, designed to fit perfectly over the Modular Windshield. It gives an additional 20dB of wind noise attenuation. Fitted with a drawstring & toggle to allow snug and easy fitting. Modular Windshield Kits, including zipped Windjammer are also available on request.
