Rycote are renowned for designing and manufacturing quality windshields and microphone accessories. Using their knowledge of audio, Rycote have created this range of ‘high-quality’ pencil microphones for use in studio or on location.
BD-10 - Bi-Directional
Rycote BD-10 is a Bi-directional (Figure of 8) condenser microphone primarily designed for M/S stereo and ambient recording as well as dual dialogue. Many people will find the BD-10 a great microphone to use in conjunction with SC-08, CA-08 or HC-15 for a complete Rycote M/S Stereo or DM/S stereo solution.

CA-08 - Cardioid
A Rycote pencil condenser microphone with cardioid pickup and 'virtually flat' frequency response from 70Hz to 20kHz with a full frequency response of 45Hz to 20kHz. The microphone has been designed for both studio use and field recording and incorporates active in-line filtering against RF induced noise. The body of the microphone is manufactured from non-corrosive, machined brass whilst the capsule is manufactured from lightweight machined aluminium, giving a total weight of 69g. A gold-plated, Neutrik XLR connector allows for optimum connection and signal throughput.
