Softie Windshield
The Softie Windshield is a cost-effective, quick, and reliable solution designed for modern ENG (Electronic News Gathering) and location recording. It is ideal for use in tough environments where wind noise can significantly affect audio quality.
Key Features:
- Slip-On Design: Made with open-cell foam and an integral synthetic fur cover, the Softie effectively reduces wind noise, offering up to 25 dB of wind-noise reduction without compromising high-frequency clarity.
- Durability: Both the foam and synthetic fur are crafted from materials that are specially designed for this purpose. The foam is resistant to UV and moisture damage, ensuring the Softie lasts through the harshest conditions.
- Advanced Materials: The Softie combines high-quality materials, adhesives, and assembly techniques, making it one of the toughest products available for wind protection.
- Two Fur Length Options: The Softie comes in two fur lengths: the Classic and the Short Hair (Camera-Mounted Softie). The Short Hair version features closely cropped dark grey synthetic fur for a lower profile and compact design, ideal for use with camera-mounted setups without causing shadows near the lens.
- Acoustic Transparency: Despite its robust wind protection, the Softie maintains excellent acoustic transparency, allowing for natural, clear sound capture.
- Versatility: Available in a wide range of sizes to fit most popular shotgun microphones, the Softie can be purchased individually or as part of a kit, which includes the Lyre shock-mount and Pistol-grip.
- Handmade in the U.K.: All Classic-Softie windshields are handmade in the United Kingdom, ensuring premium quality and attention to detail.
