Accessory kit Rycote RYC065101, universal microphone accessory, black

Rycote RYC065101 is a universal microphone accessory kit in black designed to extend mounting, protection and handling options for a wide range of microphones. The kit is suitable for studio and field recording situations where discreet mounting and reduction of clothing noise are required. It includes components that allow secure attachment and gentle isolation of lavalier microphones worn under clothing.

Advantages

This universal accessory kit reduces rustle and low wind noise when lavalier microphones are worn under garments by combining adhesive "Stickies" with a soft fabric disc placed over the microphone. The black finish helps the accessories remain unobtrusive in most recording setups. The components are designed to be easy to fit and to provide a stable, low-profile solution for mounting lavalier microphones while maintaining clear audio capture.

Suitable for

• Mounting lavalier microphones under clothing to minimise handling and garment noise
• Field recording where discreet microphone placement is required
• Studio or location broadcast and interview work using lavalier microphones
• Any situation requiring a universal, low-profile microphone mounting and protection solution

Key specifications

• Color: Black
• Intended microphone type: Lavalier / lapel microphones
• Included components: Adhesive pads (Stickies) and soft fabric disc(s)
• Primary function: Reduce clothing rustle and low wind noise
• Compatibility: Universal fit for a wide range of lavalier microphones

How to use

Affix the included adhesive pad (Sticky) to the back of the lavalier microphone capsule, then place the microphone under the clothing at the desired position. Add the soft fabric disc on top of the microphone and over the adhesive to create a protective layer that minimises the transmission of rustle and low wind noise. Ensure the microphone capsule is oriented correctly for optimal pickup and that the adhesive is pressed firmly to secure the microphone in place. Replace adhesive pads and fabric discs as needed for hygiene or when adhesion decreases.

Usage recommendations

For best results, choose the placement point on clothing that provides stable contact and minimal movement. Test the microphone position and listen to a short recording to confirm reduced rustle and acceptable audio quality before important recordings. Store spare Stickies and fabric discs in a clean, dry place to maintain adhesion and fabric condition.
