Low Self Noise
Rycote microphones can claim one of the lowest self-noise in the market (-8.5 dB) thanks to the high-quality capsule and preamp that positively affect the inherent electronic noise or hiss the mics usually produce.


This low self-noise allows professionals to catch a cleaner and more accurate recordings when recording quiet sounds or working in environments where high-sensitivity is required.


RF Shielding
Extremely efficient RF Shielding is designed into the electronics to make the microphone immune to wireless-transmitter and walkie talkies interference.


Non-Reflective Coating
The black, matte non-reflective coating is a must have for professional location-sound microphones when lighting on the mic surface could glare and distract talents. This non-reflective coating allows boom ops to move freely, especially when in proximity to the talent.


Gold Plated Connection
The XLR connector is gold-plated to prevent corrosion in high-humidity environments or applications with frequent thermal cycling or exposure to corrosive salts or acids. This benefits in the mic's longevity rather than in audio quality.


Durable Materials
The mic's extremely precise capsule design is made of machined aluminum and first-class electronics to ensure the best possible acoustic performance. All components are tested for durability, moisture, and humidity.


One Sonic Signature
All Rycote microphones are built using the same capsule and preamp design. This gives each mic a tonal and sonic signature that makes them cut together seamlessly. This allows sound engineers to benefit from a predictable tonal response to the same voice or sound source, resulting in an easier and faster mix & match postproduction workflow.
