Rycote Windjammer WJ 1

Suitable for use with the Windshield 1

Main Benefits:

• Specially designed for the purpose – our Windjammer® give the most effective wind-noise protection available
• Secure and snug fitting, using a draw-string and toggle
• First introduced and invented by Rycote in 1987, we are the original makers of first-class Windjammer

The Windjammer first introduced by Rycote is a high quality synthetic fur-cover, which provides the highest possible protection against extreme wind-noise. When using a Windjammer fitted over a Windshield up to 50 dB of wind-noise attenuation can be achieved, producing excellent standard audio recordings.

Each Windjammer fits one size of windshield, and comes supplied in every Modular Windshield Kit. Windjammer® is also available in sizes to fit Stereo Windshields, Softies & Baby Ballgags, please see their relevant product family for details.

The Windjammer is made from materials which are specially designed and manufactured for the purpose, and as a result has virtually no adverse effect on High-Frequency. To be totally effective it is important that the pile of the Windjammer® remains in prime condition, so each is supplied with a fold flat hairbrush for ongoing maintenance.

Standard Windjammer is fitted with a drawstring and toggle to allow snug and easy fitting, however some users prefer the zipped version which are available on request.
