WBS Bundle - Sennheiser MKH50, Cinela Piani-1

Thinking of upgrading your shotgun microphone?  Why not take advantage of this specially selected WBS Ltd bundle offer.  The combination of these items offers exceptional wind protection and high quality audio reproduction.

Sennheiser MKH 50 P48 Microphone

The super-cardioid MKH 50 offers a higher attenuation of diffusefield and lateral sound than the cardioid microphone. It is principally designed for use as a soloist's or spot microphone for applications requiring a high degree of side-borne sound muting and feedback rejection. The directional characteristics are frequency-independent.

Features

• High rejection of lateral sounds
• Exceptionally low inherent self-noise
• Transformerless and fully floating balanced output
• Symmetrical transducer technology ensures extremely low distortion
• Switchable roll-off filter to compensate for proximity effects at a distance of approx. 0.5 m
• Switchable pre-attenuation
• Black, anodised light metal body 

Cinela Pianissimo

Following the success of the PIANO, the PIANISSIMO is mainly designed for the new generation of short shotgun microphones and coincident stereo, surround-sound combinations and many other mics shorter than 8 in (21 cm).

As with all other Cinela windshields since 2007, Pianissimo integrates a unique full-cage isolation to prevent vibrations and handling noise by an additional ~15 db. This Cinela invention, the well-known "floating basket" principle, is achieved by four flexible "U" isolators installed around the cage. A rubber bellows at the bottom of the cage insures flexibility and keeps wind out.

Easily transportable, the PIANISSIMO is very light, robust, and adaptable, and includes all the recognised qualities of the existing range of Cinela windshields.

Key Features

• Very light yet durable cage constructed in two parts. Its upper and lower halves are held together at six points by simple friction.
• Aerodynamic ovoid shape and maximum internal space around the microphone for high wind resistance. The primary covering is a special two-millimeter-thick texturized fabric that surrounds the cage, providing effective first-level wind protection with acoustic transparency.
• The central support has two positions, which enable fitting different suspension for various microphones and combinations.
• 8 in (21 cm) microphone on the first fixing point at the rear of the support. The mono version using the new OSIX series with elliptical isolators. Total interchangeability of suspensions between PIANO, PIANISSIMO, and OSIX (7,8, and 9).
• Standard PIANO 1 swivel, single axis with XLR holder. The swivel is tightened using a toothed wheel, which permits a firm grip with light force.
• The secret second swivel, only adjustable with the help of a screwdriver is useful for stereo applications. The swivel and cable turn in a block on the central axis. As standard, unlike the PIANO, the PIANISSIMO turns on both axes, but can be locked for mono use.
• The PIANISSIMO comes with a virtually unbreakable transparent shell made from polycarbonate.
