UK - Rycote has announced the immediate availability of a redesigned version of its Softie windshield and microphone mount incorporating the company's Lyre suspension technology. As a result of the improvements, the new Softie system is lighter overall (145 grammes), and offers better isolation from handling noise, says the company.

The Softie is Rycote's robust, push-on microphone windshield and mounting system for shotgun mics, and is widely used by documentary makers and in news-gathering applications.
