Wind diffusion for MKH series

The Rycote Softie slides over the capsule of Sennheiser MKH 20, 40 or 50 microphones and provides a 5 cm layer of long synthetic hair that diffuses wind noise during field recording. Its large-diameter opening matches the profile of those three models for a secure push-on fit.

Quick ENG-style deployment

The slip-on design lets operators attach or remove the cover in seconds without tools, keeping setup time short on location. The construction balances effective gust rejection with minimal high-frequency attenuation for dialogue capture.

Questions about this item

Will the long-hair cover need replacing after extended outdoor use?

The synthetic fur can mat or shed over time; when wind noise increases noticeably, replace the Softie to restore full diffusion.

What limit appears first during continuous recording in strong wind?

The 5 cm long-hair layer handles moderate gusts, but sustained high wind will eventually overcome the diffusion and let low-frequency rumble reach the capsule.
