Bundle includes:

Rycote HC-15 Short Shotgun Microphone
The HC-15 is a hypercardioid short shotgun microphone (15cm Long Directional Mono Mic w/ 3-pin XLR Connection) designed for a wide range of applications in cinema, TV, ENG, live broadcast, sound design, studio and field recording. This mic offers performance equal to or better than many of the more expensive professional microphones, while also offering a self-noise level lower than almost any equivalent sized shotgun mic at any price.
The HC-15 combines a moderatley directional polar pattern with extremely low self-noise. This provides some level of off-axis rejection and isolation with a precise sound quality to match, making the HC-15 a great all around mic for many recording environments.
This microphone reproduces an accurate reflection of what is being recorded. The mic offers a crisp sound with some additional warmth. How warm will vary ear-to-ear but the mics are somewhere in the middle ‐ not quite as warm as a really warm mic and far from sounding sterile.

Rycote Nano-Shield Kit - NS4-DB
We would like to inform you of the next steps we are taking with regards to the Rycote Nano Shield Kits.
As you may be aware, we are currently in the process of upgrading all current stock with new 'Enhancement Packs'. These packs have been tried and tested, solving issues relating to boom handling noise.
These kits will include:
- 2 New 3D-Tex Socks
- 1 New Swivel Arm For the Suspension
- 1 New Digital Cable
3D-Tex Socks
Made from the same fabric as the Cyclone, these socks are now glued into a ring, that you can clip directly into the basket. Not only has this improved the performance, but it has also made it easy to change socks over.
Swivel Arm
For the suspension, the new material of the Swivel Arm will help eliminate the resonance noise issue from the boom poles.
Digital Cable
A bonus element to the kit, the digital cable allows customers to be able to use Digital microphones, without the function of an analogue filter.
