As a smaller alternative to the Windjammer, the Rycote Softie by Sanken attenuates high wind and atmospheric noises up to 25dB. The Softie is constructed of an acoustic foam base covered by a specially designed synthetic fur fabric together with a separate shockmount with its own bracket and either pistol grip handle or boom adaptor.

With a thick 10mm coat of fur, this microphone wind protector provides a fast, flexible and cost effective solution for ENG on camera microphones. The Softie is compatible with the Sanken CMS-10. The Softie eliminates up to 25dB of background and wind noises.
