## Summary description

Rycote RYC033042 is a microphone windshield in grey finish, 175 mm long, designed to reduce wind noise and protect the mic capsule. It has a specified self noise of 25 dB and fits applications requiring improved outdoor and location recording performance. Suitable for field recording, ENG, film sound and location audio work.

## Long description

Rycote RYC033042 Microphone Windshield in grey is a 175 mm slip-on windshield designed for field and location recording to reduce wind noise and protect the microphone capsule. The product combines an open-cell acoustic foam core with an integral synthetic fur cover to provide durable wind protection and maintain high-frequency clarity. The Softie design is commonly used in ENG, film sound and other professional on-location applications where reliable wind-noise reduction and physical protection are required.
Advantages
The combination of acoustic foam and synthetic fur delivers up to 25 dB of wind-noise reduction while preserving high-frequency response. The materials are chosen to resist UV and moisture damage, extending service life in outdoor conditions. The slip-on construction allows quick fitting and removal, and the grey short-hair finish offers a lower profile suitable for camera-mounted or close-proximity mounting without causing visible shadows. Handmade assembly techniques and robust adhesives contribute to mechanical durability in demanding environments.
Suitable for
 ENG and news gathering
 Location sound recording for film and television
 Field interviews and reportage
 Documentary production and outdoor shoots
 Any shotgun or location microphone matching the 175 mm length profile
Key specifications
 Length: 175 mm
 Finish: Grey short-hair synthetic fur over open-cell acoustic foam
 Wind-noise reduction: up to 25 dB (self noise specification)
 Construction: slip-on design with integral fur cover
 Materials: acoustic foam core and synthetic fur engineered for UV and moisture resistance
 Compatibility: designed for shotgun and location microphones with similar length and profile
How to use
Slide the Rycote Softie windshield over the microphone body so the foam core fully envelopes the capsule area, ensuring the fur cover fits evenly around the microphone. Confirm the windshield sits securely and does not obstruct any controls, switches or connectors. For camera-mounted or close-proximity use choose the short-hair grey variant to reduce visual profile. After use, allow any moisture to evaporate and store the windshield dry to preserve materials and adhesives.
Usage recommendations
Use the Rycote RYC033042 in combination with an appropriate shock mount or windjammer kit for maximum reduction of handling and low-frequency wind noise. Inspect the windshield periodically for wear or compromised adhesive bonds and replace if the foam or fur is degraded. For extreme wind conditions, consider mounting additional wind protection accessories or using a blimp system for further attenuation.
