The Rycote Cyclone Stereo Windshield Kit, XY Kit 1 delivers premium wind and shock isolation for a pair of Sennheiser MKH8040 microphones in any demanding stereo recording environment. Engineered for professional use in film, broadcast, and field recording, this system combines compact design with advanced acoustic performance.
At its core is Rycote’s precision-built Connbox, tailored for the MKH8040 setup. Internally routed cables and exact-fit connectors provide a clean, reliable signal path while minimizing handling noise and vibration. This plug-and-play solution ensures you spend less time troubleshooting and more time capturing the perfect take.
The patented Lyre microphone suspension and Floating Basket Suspension work together to isolate the entire structure from resonance and boom-borne vibrations. Encased in Rycote’s 3D-Tex aerodynamic basket with no parallel surfaces, the system dramatically reduces wind noise and acoustic impedance. For extreme conditions, an optional Windjammer offers enhanced wind protection far beyond conventional solutions.
