Rycote has launched two microphones for film production, sport broadcast and field recording applications, expanding its existing range with the Fig-of-8 BD-10 and the the HC-35 shotgun.

The BD-10 is intended for MS field recordings with ambience and dialogue in mind, while the HC-35 is a long shotgun mic for sport broadcast, wide outdoor shots and TV dialogue.

The new mics have been designed to offer the same signature sound and low-self noise performance as other Rycote microphones in the range, ensuring consistency in production. The new products are complemented by industry standard Rycote windshields and shockmount accessories.

The BD-10 features an innovative capsule design that allows accurate stereo recordings with excellent detail and clarity. In addition, it has an integrated suspension system to minimise handling noise and vibration.

The HC-35 long shotgun microphone is designed for a wide variety of broadcasting applications where clear audio capture is mission critical. It offers superior off-axis rejection which helps reduce unwanted noise from the surroundings. Additionally, its lightweight design makes it convenient and easy to handle.

‘We're very proud of what we've achieved with this microphone range,’ says Audio Sales Senior Director, Bjørn Rennemo-Henriksen. ‘Our team worked hard to combine great sound and accurate reproduction at an affordable price tag – something that sets us apart from our competitors.’
