Knocking or shaking a microphone will also produce unwanted sounds so Rycote has designed shock mounts, which form an integral part of the windshield systems. These heavily reduce handling noise and provide sophisticated methods of suspending the microphone correctly within the windshield.

Rycote's reputation is built on cutting wind-noise without causing serious damage to the wanted sound. The designs and the materials used have been very carefully thought out and tested to achieve this. 

Rycote's products are designed to accommodate AKG, Audio Technica, Beyer, Neumann, Pearl, Sanken, Schoeps, Sennheiser, Shure and Sony microphones and several other makes.

Please specify microphone make and model if you are unsure if your mic will fit.
