Rycote HC-15 and HC-22 Shotgun Microphones

In this episode, we have a look at the new HC-15 and HC-22 shotgun microphones from Rycote. Rycote is known for decades for making high quality wind protection and shock mounts for microphones. Now, they’ve produced their first two microphones for production sound. Let’s put them to the test!
