Professional Windcover for Rycote Supershield Medium
This replacement windcover provides essential wind protection for Rycote Supershield Medium windshield systems. Manufactured with precision-cut synthetic acoustic fur, the windcover delivers professional-grade wind noise attenuation while maintaining frequency response characteristics critical for broadcast and field recording applications.
Construction and Materials
The windcover utilises long-pile synthetic acoustic fur specifically engineered for audio applications. This material construction achieves up to 40dB of wind noise reduction across the frequency spectrum while preserving high-frequency clarity essential for professional recording. The synthetic fur composition ensures consistent performance characteristics regardless of environmental conditions.
An internal smooth lining provides protection for the underlying windshield structure and facilitates easy installation and removal. The attached drawstring system enables secure mounting while allowing quick windcover changes during production schedules. Additional material coverage extends over the base section of most windshield blimps, providing comprehensive protection.
Broadcast and Production Applications
Field recording professionals rely on effective wind protection during exterior shoots and challenging environmental conditions. This rycote supershield medium windcover integrates into established broadcast workflows where consistent audio quality remains paramount. News gathering operations, documentary production, and location sound recording benefit from the reliable wind noise suppression.
The windcover supports professional recording scenarios where wind conditions vary throughout production schedules. Sports broadcasting, outdoor interviews, and event coverage applications require dependable wind protection that maintains audio clarity without introducing unwanted frequency colouration.
Professional Integration
The windcover design accommodates standard broadcast microphone configurations used with Rycote Supershield Medium systems. Professional sound recordists can integrate the windcover into existing equipment setups without requiring workflow modifications or additional mounting hardware.
Rental houses and equipment suppliers maintain replacement windcovers to ensure continuous availability during multi-day productions. The standardised fitment allows seamless integration across different production teams and equipment configurations without compatibility concerns.
Installation and Operation
The drawstring closure system enables straightforward installation over the Rycote Supershield Medium windshield. The internal lining prevents acoustic fur from interfering with microphone capsule positioning while maintaining secure attachment during handling and transport.
Sound recordists can quickly remove and reinstall the windcover as environmental conditions change during production. The synthetic material composition withstands repeated handling without degrading acoustic performance or structural integrity.
Care and Maintenance
Synthetic acoustic fur maintains performance characteristics through regular cleaning and proper storage procedures. The windcover should be gently cleaned to remove debris and environmental contaminants that could affect acoustic properties. Professional cleaning methods preserve the fur pile structure and acoustic characteristics.
Proper storage in protective cases prevents compression of the acoustic fur and extends operational lifespan. Many professional users maintain multiple windcovers to ensure availability during extended production schedules or when environmental conditions require frequent cleaning.
Professional Standards
UK manufacturing ensures consistent quality control and adherence to professional audio standards. The handmade construction allows for precise fitment and quality inspection throughout the manufacturing process. Professional broadcast equipment distributors stock these windcovers to support ongoing maintenance requirements.
The windcover meets professional expectations for durability and acoustic performance in demanding broadcast environments. Quality control procedures ensure each unit delivers specified wind noise attenuation while maintaining the frequency response characteristics required for professional audio applications.
