I just wanted to put in writting my appreciation for everything your company has done for me recently. The replacement for my 664 mixer arrived today and is working perfectly. Please pass on my thanks to Matt for his patience, expert help and the guidance he has provided despite me phoning, in a panic, from various locations around the world. Thanks to you all for going beyond the call of duty, the level of service has been absolutely fantastic!
The Mini-ALTO & RAD-2 Kit is a compact and versatile microphone windshield and shock mounting system for location sound professionals. It features the award winning RAD shock mount for exceptional isolation from handling noise, an ultra-lightweight 2-part magnetic "pod" windshield that can be fitted/unfitted in seconds and a removable fur cover for added wind protection.
The Mini-ALTO has been designed to be fast and easy-to-use with almost all small condenser, short shotgun and standard shotgun sized microphones. With a diameter of just 85mm, the Mini-ALTO is the smallest "full-coverage" zeppelin windshield available in the professional audio recording industry. Even at this size, the Mini-ALTO will achieve wind reduction for up to -40dB with its included fur cover, which is comparable to larger pill-shaped windshields. The Mini-ALTO windshields come in full kits which include the windshield, a RAD-2 Mount, spare hoops with different suspension firmness, a fur windcover, a "smiley face" adaptor and a magnetic stowage holder for the windshield with a caribiner clip. The full kits are available in versions with and without custom fitted XLR cables. Made in the U.K.
Included in this kit: Mini-ALTO 115 size windshield, RAD-2 Shock Mount with 4 pairs of suspension hoops (extra soft, soft, standard, extra firm), Black Fur Windcover, Smiley Face Adaptor, Magnetic Windshield Stowage Holder with Carabiner Clip, and a pair of RAD Cable Straps.
Achieves up to 40dB of wind noise reduction when using the included fur windcover - equivalent to many larger sized windshields
