RYCOTE HC-15 CS Kit (Classic Softie Kit) – RYC979011

RYC979011 Rycote HC-15 CS Kit includes the 12CM Classic Softie kit 19/22 and the 10cm SGM Foam (19/22) together with the Rycote Microphone HC-15.

The HC-15 and HC-22 are high-quality hypercardioid shotgun microphones. These mics offer performance equal to or better than many of the more expensive professional microphones while offering a self-noise level lower than almost any equivalent-sized shotgun mic at any price.

How did we do it? We kept things simple.

The HC microphones are shipped with only a case no mic clips, foams, or other accessories. To reduce costs, we decided to minimise the packaging and shipping costs by not paying to send air worldwide. We ask that you please find compatible Rycote foams, Softies, windshield kits, shock mounts and other accessories near you.

Our new microphones were designed in-house and are made at Rycote in our factory in the U.K. As such, we can utilise much of our current manufacturing and testing resources we use to make other Rycote products. Therefore our investment costs for production were not as high as if we had started making mics from scratch. This combined with a modular material and components design allowed us to create two hypercardioid mics cost-effectively and pass on more value to you.

HC-15
The Rycote HC-15 is a hypercardioid short shotgun microphone that combines a moderately directional
polar pattern with extremely (market-leading) low self-noise. This provides some level of off-axis rejection and isolation while its dimensions are ideal for camera mounting or mainly indoor recording applications where mic booming can be applied with more proximity and sound is kept natural with a wider field of sound. Longer shotguns indoor suffer phase interference, especially near flat bare walls and ceilings.

Applications:
Cinema, TV, ENG, live broadcast, sound design studio field recording and Cinema.
