Rycote HC-15 Short Shotgun Microphone

For more than 50 years, Rycote has leveraged its audio expertise to design and manufacture industry leading windshield kits, shock mounts and other accessories. From condenser to lavalier, many categories of mic accessories have either been created by or improved upon from Rycote. They make specialty kits for many of the world’s leading microphone companies. The one thing they haven’t done was to design and create their very own high-quality professional broadcast microphones — until now...

The Rycote HC-15 is high-quality hypercardioid short shotgun microphone offering performance equal to or better than many of the more expensive professional microphones, while also offering a self-noise level lower than almost any equivalent sized shotgun mic at any price. HC microphones provide solid off-axis rejection and isolation with a sound quality to match, making them a great all around mics for many recording environments including live broadcast, sound design, ENG, TV, cinema and field recording.
