(* Our recommendation for the Sennheiser
MKH8040/8050 is the Cyclone Small (XLR) model,
based on the use of the Sennheiser MZX (XLR
module) with these microphones. If you wish to
use either of these mics without the MZX module
attached, you can do so using the Cyclone Small
(MZL).
Thank you for choosing the
Cyclone Windshield! The
following Quick Start Guide
provides you with the basics
to get you started.

Key Features
• Superb acoustic transparency - the open
shell structure with no parallel surfaces
greatly reduces room-tone effects & provides
a clean frequency response;
• Massive wind noise reduction - asymmetric
basket covered with 3D-Tex® material
provides enormous benefits in terms of
surface turbulence & acoustic impedance. An
optional Cyclone Windjammer can be used
for the most extreme weather conditions;
• Advanced shock isolation - with industry-
leading Rycote Lyre® microphone suspension
and exclusive Floating Basket Suspension
(Pat. Pending) with built-in Lyre technology,
for additional vibration isolation between
basket and pole;
• Quick & Easy - unique Z-Locking System
with magnetic locking for instant windshield
removal/attachment;
• Lightweight, durable construction &
materials - to withstand extreme field use;
• An Offset Link bracket is included, to provide
mic axis articulation, if required for ideal
microphone placement.
Overview
Quick. Clear. Consistent.
The Cyclone Small premium microphone
windshield system delivers outstanding
performance for small diaphragm condenser
and short shotgun microphones alike.
