The Rycote Stereo Cyclone MS Kit is a premium windshield system engineered for location sound mixers and recordists using mid-side microphone arrays. Built by hand in Rycote’s Stroud factory, this precision-crafted kit offers acoustically transparent wind protection through its innovative 3D-Tex material and aerodynamically efficient, asymmetric basket design. The result is unparalleled wind-noise attenuation without sacrificing audio clarity.
Designed with a refined internal structure, the enhanced Connbox eliminates straight and parallel surfaces to reduce room tone and resonance. Rycote’s industry-leading Lyre microphone suspension and Floating Basket Suspension work in tandem to isolate vibrations and minimize handling noise—essential for capturing clean audio in challenging environments. A brass 3/8" UNC thread ensures reliable boompole compatibility, while matched inputs (depending on the chosen kit) and a 5-pin XLR output streamline connectivity and cable management.
Engineered for rapid deployment, the Z-Locking System allows effortless one-handed removal and reattachment. Combined with its easy-to-clean 3D-Tex exterior, the Stereo Cyclone MS Kit is a robust, low-maintenance solution trusted by professionals in film, TV, and game audio production.
