## Summary description

Rycote RYC033083 is a microphone windshield designed to reduce wind noise for outdoor and location recording. Grey in colour, 315 mm long and specified with 25 dB self-noise, it provides physical wind protection for shotgun and boom microphones, improving clarity in field recording, interviews and film production under windy conditions.

## Long description

Rycote RYC033083 Softie microphone windshield is a slip-on windshield for shotgun and boom microphones designed to reduce wind noise in ENG, location and film production. The unit is grey, 315 mm long and specified with up to 25 dB wind-noise reduction. Its construction combines an open-cell acoustic foam core with an integral synthetic fur cover to provide physical protection and consistent acoustic transparency for outdoor recording.
Advantages
The Softie design provides effective wind attenuation up to 25 dB while preserving high-frequency detail, thanks to purpose-made foam and a synthetic fur outer layer. The materials are resistant to UV and moisture, increasing durability for extended field use. Its slip-on fit makes it quick to mount and remove, and the short-haired grey version offers a lower profile suited to camera-mounted applications without substantially changing acoustic performance.
Suitable for
 Outdoor interviews and ENG (electronic news gathering)
 Location sound for film and TV production
 Shotgun and boom microphone protection during field recording
 Documentary and event recording in windy conditions
Key specifications
 Length: 315 mm
 Colour: Grey
 Wind-noise reduction: up to 25 dB
 Construction: open-cell acoustic foam core with synthetic fur cover
 Design: slip-on, low-profile short-hair variant available for camera mounting
 Acoustic behaviour: designed for acoustic transparency with minimal HF attenuation
How to use
Slide the Softie windshield over the microphone body or shotgun barrel until it seats securely on the foam core. Ensure the microphone capsule and any windjammer accessories align with the centre of the cover to maintain consistent acoustic performance. For camera-mounted use, choose the short-hair variant and position to avoid casting shadows on the lens. After use, allow the cover to dry if exposed to moisture and store in a ventilated area to maintain fur and foam condition.
Usage recommendations
For best results in strong wind, combine the Softie with an appropriate shock mount and aim to reduce direct exposure to gusts by microphone placement and operator positioning. Regularly inspect the foam and fur for wear and replace the windshield if the acoustic transparency or physical integrity is compromised.
