COSI-XL-19 – Compact windshield for “short” microphones

Product

COSI is a small-sized windshield based on an innovative principle (Patent 2017) reconciling the concepts of suspension and wind protection, usually separate and always incompatible. Its use covers a wide range of daily situations encountered, with the imperatives of simplicity and efficiency.

In a well-known approach, a regular suspension and microphone form an unbalanced object because the soft isolators, constricted towards the rear, often have difficulty supporting the removable windscreen, which is too constricted towards the front.

In the case of a large windshields (ZEPHYX, PIANO, PIANISSIMO), the microphone and the wind-cage have their own independent internal suspensions. It is impossible to implement this principle correctly in a small volume.

In the case of COSI, two external (and unique) isolators are directly attached to the cage, which offers two major advantages:

• The wind-cage completely surrounds the microphone, providing good wind efficiency for a limited volume.
• The two isolators are widely spaced, which provides excellent vibration protection AND a firm hold for the microphone.

The microphone is simply inserted into a “Holder” which is easily mounted and secured by a quarter-turn at the back of the cage.

For the Sanken CS-1e and the Sennheiser 8060 with XLR ending WITHOUT MZF filter.
