RYCOTE Cyclone stereo windshield kit, double MS kit 2

• stereo method: Double Mid-Side stereo
• DMS mic combo: Schoeps CCM8 + Schoeps CCM4/41 + Schoeps MiniCMIT

The Cyclone range represents the pinnacle of wind and shock isolation available for audio professionals. By successfully addressing the design challenges presented by the introduction of multiple microphones, Rycote is able to offer the stunning performance of Cyclone for stereo microphone applications. Their unique design approach has enabled them to keep overall size as compact as possible, so most Stereo Cyclone models feature small or medium Cyclone basket sizes.

Designed specifically for internal cable routing, isolation and vibration reduction, Rycote took the original Connbox and redesigned it for stereo and multichannel microphone configurations. Each Connbox has been uniquely built for a specific mic setup. Every wire and connector has been precisely measured to offer maximum performance. This completely effective and ready-to-use solution to connection problems means you don't have to worry - just plug in your microphones.

Rycote uses its industry-leading Lyre microphone suspension to reduce the bulk of shock and handling noise. Stereo Cyclone also features the Rycote floating basket suspension: an innovative design that prevents natural resonances and vibrations from bypassing the main suspension and radiating from the structure of the basket itself. Stereo Cyclone takes the Lyre principle and incorporates it into the portions of the suspension that connect directly to the basket, the entire structure floats, isolating problem internal vibrations originating from boom poles and other sources.

Like the existing Cyclone range, Stereo Cyclone features an open-cell structure consisting of curved contours and no straight or parallel surfaces, which greatly reduces room-tone effects inherent in conventional tubular windshield designs. The aerodynamic, asymmetric basket design and the unique, acoustically transparent 3D-Tex material provide enormous benefits in terms of surface turbulence and acoustic impedance.

The unique design of Cyclone shifts the overall bulk to the basket front. 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.
