Rycote Baby Ball Gag Windshield x 2 and Stereo Bar Bundle
This combination of 2x Rycote's Baby Ball Gag's in the correct 20cm size, along with windjammers and Rycote's Invision 7HG MKIII Stereo Pair kit gives any user the perfect solution to all Schoeps CMC Stereo Pairs.
Rycote Baby Ball Gag Windshield
Made to offer the wind attenuation properties of a full sized windshield in a much smaller package, Baby Ball Gags are designed to slip onto the body of the microphone. This allows the microphone to be hand-held or shock-mounted with a Lyre suspension.
Perfect for short microphones, Baby Ball Gags are suitable for low-profile boom applications as well as for use in hand-held operations and interviews. They are widely used for microphones with bulbous ends and ORTF microphone pairs, where the maximum head diameter is 80 mm.
The windshield is constructed of the same material as the full size modular windshields, but rather than clipping to a microphone suspension, the Ball Gag is mounted directly on the microphone, by a grommet gripping the microphone body. The microphone is pushed through the grommet, to completely enclose the microphone capsule.
The ball gag consists of two halves, which can be separated, to fit microphones with a ball-head or tapered body from inside the windshield. For additional wind protection a furry Windjammer cover is available.
Rycote InVision INV-7HG MKIII Stereo Pair Kit
The first of the trio of products launched by Rycote® at 2012's IBC is the InVision Stereo Pair Kit, a vibration-resistant, low-noise suspension system designed to mount paired microphones for stereo recording.
The Kit comprises two of Rycote's patented vibration-reducing Lyre® suspensions mounted on a rigid, slotted stereo bar. The dual InVision INV-7 HG MkIII Lyre webs used in the Stereo Pair Kit can accommodate larger shotgun mics from 19 to 25mm in diameter, and up to 300mm long. The spacing between the two webs, and thus between the two mounted microphones, is quickly and simply adjustable from 40 to 200mm on the slotted bar by loosening a wheel under each Lyre and moving it laterally as required. A star-shaped knob underneath each Lyre also allows each mic to be rotated and/or inclined, and then secured once optimal stereo imaging has been achieved.
The complete kit may be fitted to mic stands with 3/8-inch or 5/8-inch threads (adaptors for both types are included)
Rycote Baby Ball Gag Windjammer
The Windjammer, first introduced by Rycote in 1987, is a high quality synthetic fur-cover, which provides the highest possible protection against extreme wind-noise. When using a Windjammer fitted over a Windshield up to 50 dB of wind-noise attenuation can be achieved, producing excellent standard audio recordings.
Main Benefits:
- Great windshielding, in a smaller package
- Perfect for hand-held operations and interviews
- Optional Windjammer available for windiest conditions
The Windjammer is made from materials which are specially designed and manufactured for the purpose, and as a result has virtually no adverse effect on High-Frequency. To be totally effective it is important that the pile of the Windjammer remains in prime condition, so each is supplied with a fold flat hairbrush for ongoing maintenance.
