As a tribute to Albert Laracine, main designer and pedagogue of the ORTF sound recording technique, Cinela developed the Albert windshield.
The Albert AL-ORTF-8000 consists of two Minix microphone suspensions for Sennheiser MKH8000. Each microphone has to be naturally screwed in the connector inserted in the cradle.
The suspension mounting rail allows continuous adjustment of the distance and angle between capsules:
- AB ORTF pair: 2 x cardioid, 17cm, 110°
- AB omni pair: 2 x omnidirectional, 20cm max
- XY coincident pair: 2 x cardioid, 0cm, 90°
- special pairs (example: supercardioid, 20cm max, 90°)
