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.
