Lavalier windjammer Rycote Rycote Grey Ristretto Lavalier Windjamme - single

The Rycote Grey Ristretto Lavalier Windjammer - single is a compact windshield designed specifically for lavalier (lapel) microphones. It reduces wind noise and protects the microphone capsule while preserving speech intelligibility. The product is intended for single-mic use in outdoor interviews, run-and-gun reporting, ENG, and location recording where a small, unobtrusive wind solution is required.

Advantages

This windjammer combines a low-profile design with effective wind attenuation to minimize plosives and gust noise without obscuring the microphone’s frequency response. Its construction helps maintain clear vocal reproduction and provides physical protection for the microphone in variable weather conditions. The compact size makes mounting and concealment simple on clothing or discreet setups.

Suitable for

• Outdoor interviews and on-location reporting
• Documentary and field recording where a single lavalier is used
• Broadcasting and ENG applications requiring low-visibility wind protection
• Presentations, lectures or events with outdoor or draft-prone environments

Key specifications

• Type: Compact windjammer for lavalier microphone (single)
• Primary function: Wind noise reduction for speech
• Form factor: Low-profile, small footprint suitable for concealment
• Compatibility: Designed for most standard lavalier microphone capsules and clips
• Materials: Soft acoustic fabric and protective outer layer to preserve frequency response

How to use

Fit the windjammer over the lavalier microphone capsule, ensuring the fabric fully covers the microphone element and sits securely against the clip or mounting point. Adjust the position so that the microphone remains oriented toward the speaker’s mouth and test audio to verify clarity and reduced wind noise. For best results in strong wind, confirm that the fabric is taut over the capsule and avoid leaving large gaps between the windjammer and the mic body.

Usage recommendations

For consistent speech quality, check microphone placement and perform a brief sound check before recording. Use the Rycote Grey Ristretto windjammer for situations where a discreet, effective single-microphone wind solution is needed; pair with routine lavalier mounting accessories to maintain placement and security.
