Rycote 20mm BBG Windshield

The Rycote 20mm BBG Windshield is a noise protection for the BBG Windshield microphone with a diameter of 19 to 20mm.

The Rycote 20mm BBG Windshield offers maximum wind noise protection in a compact spherical package and is suitable for microphones with a shank diameter of 19 to 20 mm.

The BBG windshields are designed to provide the wind weakening properties of a full-size windshield in a much smaller package, and are designed to glide onto the body of the microphone. This allows the microphone to be held in the hand or mounted with a Lyre suspension.

The BBG Windshield is perfect for short microphones, and is suitable for both low-profile boom applications and for hand-held use and interviews. They are widely used for microphones with spherical ends and ORTF microphone pairs, where the maximum head diameter is 80 mm.

The windshield is made of the same material as the full-size modular windshields, but instead of being attached to a microphone suspension, the windshield is mounted directly on the microphone by a tulle that grabs the microphone body. The microphone is pushed through the transit tulle to fully enclose the microphone capsule.

The windshield consists of two halves, which can be separated, to fit microphones with a ball head or a tapering body from inside the windshield. For extra protection from the wind, a hairy Windjammer cover is optionally available.
