Q: 1. Can this be used with the Sennheiser MKH 8060?

A: No. The Rycote Modular Windshield Kit WS 3 includes the Connbox CB4 which is compatible for use with stereo microphones that have a 5-pin XLR connector. The Sennheiser MKH 8060 Short Shotgun Microphone uses a standard 3-pin XLR connector. A similar compatible windshield kit is the Rycote 086067 Modular Windshield WS 1 Kit MZL for the Sennheiser MKH 8060 Microphone (B&H # RYMWS1MZLKIT). You can also use the Rycote 010320 Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics - Small (B&H # RYSSKS) or the RODE Blimp Windshield and Rycote Shock Mount Suspension System for Shotgun Microphones (B&H # ROBLIMPR).

Q: 2. Will the Sanken cs1 mic be compatible with this?

Q: 4. Will this work for the DPA 4017b?

A: The Rycote Modular Windshield WS 1 Kit MZL for the Sennheiser MKH 8060 Microphone would be far too short for the DPA 4017b. The Rycote Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics (Medium) (BH #RYSSKM) would be recommended instead.

Q: 5. what is the country of origin for this item?

Q: 6. do we put this under the bobcat or is this seperate?

A: Hi there, Nicholas: thanks very much for your question. This product is intended for use on its own (i.e. without/in place of our fur Windjammers). You can use it over the basket and then apply a Windjammer on top, but this mostly leads to reduced high frequency content, and doesn't have that much benefit in terms of additional wind protection. The HWC is a good option on its own if you need something less obtrusive than fur, or don't want to suffer as much HF loss c. 6000 Hz. That said, our fur is renowned for its high level of acoustic transparency, so the other/more important aspect to consider might be whether you intend to use your windshield in very windy conditions. For that, chose a Windjammer; for moderate winds, the HWC would perhaps be a good bet. Hope that helps! MF.

Q: 9. Can this accomodate a Sanken CS-M1?

The WS 9 Windshield is intended for use with microphones that are up to 3.9" long and the CS-M1 is just over that at 4.06" long. As a compatible option, you can use the Rycote Modular Windshield WS 1 Kit MZL (B&H # RYMWS1MZLKIT) which is intended for use with microphones that are 2.8 to 4.7" (71 to 120mm) long.

Q: 10. Can be used with Microphone Deity S-mic 2s?
