The Softie System provides a quick, simple, robust and cost effective
windshield for the tough environment of modern day ENG and location
recording.
The Softie Windshield is a slip-on open-cell foam, with integral fur
cover. The Softie will reduce wind-noise, protect your mic and is the
standard world wide in TV. Softie windshields are available in a large range
of sizes to fit most popular shotgun microphones.
Both the acoustic foam and synthetic fur are made from materials which are
specially designed and manufactured for the purpose, and as a result up to 25
dB of wind-noise reduction without any adverse effect on High-Frequency. In
addition the foam is not susceptible to UV or moisture damage, giving this
product great longevity.
Advanced materials, adhesives and assembly techniques all combine to make
the Softie an extremely tough product that provides excellent wind protection
in the harshest of environments.
The Softie Windshield can be purchased either on its own, or as part of a
Kit, which includes a Windshield, Lyre shock-mount and Pistol-grip.
Softie Windshields come in two varieties of fur length, classic and short
hair. The short haired Softie, known as the Camera-Mounted Softie has closely
cropped dark grey synthetic fur, offers lower profile and a more compact
design without severely altering the efficiency of the Softie. It can also be
mounted close to the camera lens without causing unwanted shadows.
