Whenever I need to buy new kit this is the place to go. Wendy and her team have excellent knowledge of the equipment they supply, access to information from manufacturers about the kit and an attitude to genuine customer service that is not often found in today's globalised corporate world. I have dealt with all the main UK broadcast suppliers and buying from Wendy's is by far the best experience.
The Mini-ALTO & RAD-2 Kit is a compact and versatile microphone windshield and shock mounting system for location sound professionals. It features the award winning RAD shock mount for exceptional isolation from handling noise, an ultra-lightweight 2-part magnetic "pod" windshield that can be fitted/unfitted in seconds and a removable fur cover for added wind protection.
The Mini-ALTO has been designed to be fast and easy-to-use with almost all small condenser, short shotgun and standard shotgun sized microphones. With a diameter of just 85mm, the Mini-ALTO is the smallest "full-coverage" zeppelin windshield available in the professional audio recording industry. Even at this size, the Mini-ALTO will achieve wind reduction for up to -40dB with its included fur cover, which is comparable to larger pill-shaped windshields. The Mini-ALTO windshields come in full kits which include the windshield, a RAD-2 Mount, spare hoops with different suspension firmness, a fur windcover, a "smiley face" adaptor and a magnetic stowage holder for the windshield with a caribiner clip. The full kits are available in versions with and without custom fitted XLR cables. Made in the U.K.
Included in this kit: Mini-ALTO 115 size windshield, RAD-2 Shock Mount with 4 pairs of suspension hoops (extra soft, soft, standard, extra firm), Black Fur Windcover, Smiley Face Adaptor, Magnetic Windshield Stowage Holder with Carabiner Clip, and a pair of RAD Cable Straps.
Achieves up to 40dB of wind noise reduction when using the included fur windcover - equivalent to many larger sized windshields
