Rycote Stereo Cyclone MS Kit 18: professional-grade wind protection for stereo recordings

The Rycote Stereo Cyclone MS Kit 18 represents a gold standard for outdoor audio recording. Designed for stereo and Mid-Side configurations, this windproof system offers outstanding performance in wind noise reduction and vibration isolation, while maintaining impeccable acoustic transparency.

Designed for advanced stereo techniques

The kit is optimized for major stereo recording techniques, including X/Y, Mid-Side and Double Mid-Side. Each component is designed to fit perfectly into specific microphone configurations, ensuring professional results in film, broadcast, sound design and environmental recordings.

Perfect for audio production and field recording

Ideal for direct-take, wildlife recording and gaming audio, this system allows you to capture space, depth and realism with extreme precision.

Advanced isolation from vibration and mechanical noise

Lyre® technology combined with the Floating Basket Suspension system provides superior isolation from vibration, handling noise and structural resonances. This innovative design prevents vibration transmission through the basket, significantly improving the quality of the recorded signal.

Maximum stability even on boom poles

The floating structure effectively reduces interference from boom poles and movement, ensuring clean recordings even under complex operating conditions.

Superior wind protection

Asymmetrical aerodynamic basket design, combined with 3D-Tex® material, provides extremely effective wind noise reduction, comparable to modular systems with fur covering. An optional Windjammer is available for extreme weather conditions, further increasing performance.

Acoustic transparency without compromise

The open structure with curved surfaces avoids reflections and sound coloration, ensuring a natural and faithful rendering of the audio signal.

Intelligent design and quick use

Magnetic Z-Locking system allows the windshield to be opened and closed with one hand, facilitating quick operations in the field. Integrated Connbox optimizes internal wiring, reducing noise and simplifying installation.

High-quality handcrafted construction

Each unit is hand-assembled by skilled Rycote technicians, ensuring precision construction and long-term reliability even under the most demanding conditions.
