Aerodynamic and durable, the Super-Softie Kit 416 slip-on microphone windshield and shock mounting system provides superior performance and unparalleled durability for your Sennheiser MKH 416. Also fully compatible with: Sennheiser ME66 K6, Rode NTG3 and Sanken CS-3e.

Super-Softie | Premium slip-on microphone Windshield with Rycote's new revolutionary 3D-Tex™ fabric covering for unparalleled sonic performance, wind-noise suppression and field durability.

3D-Tex™ contributes to amazing noise reduction by both its layered internal structure and its surface texture. It retains its acoustic properties even under adverse conditions. If 3D-Tex™ becomes rain soaked it can be squeezed out and shaken dry very quickly - if it becomes coated with dust it can be rinsed quickly without affecting its performance.

The Super-Softie combines excellent acoustic transparency with superb attenuation of wind noise. It has no rigid internal structure, causes virtually no polar pattern distortion and is extremely robust in challenging environments such as ENG. Its shape and structure allow it to reduce wind noise at extreme LF and infrasonic frequencies - where the greatest wind energy lies - more efficiently than previous designs. The initial noise reduction can be in excess of 30 dB and acoustic artifacts are extremely low.

Features:

• Novel shape & 3D-Tex™ give greatly improved wind reduction compared to conventional "soft" windshields
• Same diameter as Classic-Softie®, but with far greater performance
• A true cavity design, with superb performance at extreme low frequencies (where wind noise is worst)
• Extremely durable, robust enough for the most challenging ENG and Reality-TV situations
• High immunity to rain-soaking, and maintains excellent acoustic transparency in almost all situations
• Can be used on a boom pole, stand or camera with various InVision Duo-Lyre Mount Models
• Handcrafted in the UK

3D-Tex™
Rycote's engineers worked quite extensively to develop an ideal performing, robust non-fur covering for the Super-Softie. This cutting-edge 3D-Tex™ fabric covering gives fantastic wind suppressing & sonic performance versus traditional "soft" windshields.
