Reinhardt has now introduced a new series of enclosed windshield systems “Whisper”.
Available for both camera and boom mounted microphones. The Whisper is the only realistic alternative to existing soft windshield systems.
Like all our products, the Whisper is hand made in Denmark by Danish craftsmen on our own premises to exacting specification to ensure perfect performance.
The whisper is beautifully finished with acoustically transparent silver gray synthetic fur and a soft leather trim.
Whispers are available in a number of sizes and can be manufactured to fit virtually any tubular shaped shotgun or camcorder microphone upon request..

HiWind models have triple layer protection against

windnoise.
The most used version, is Hi-Wind but for camera mounted microphones, the smaller "Mini-Wind" or standard model is also available if a wide-angle lens is in constant use.
The Hi-Wind has proved to be effective with gusts of 10m/s (22MPH) reducing the windnoise by up to 18dB.
Whispers are light, easy and quick to fit. When testing under ENG conditions, most felt that having both a Mini-Wind and a Hi-Wind whisper was a great advantage, as being so easy and quick to change one can always be prepared for unexpected windy conditions.
One of the major advantages of the new Whisper series is that Whispers are also available for larger shotgun microphones making ”baskets” or ”zeppelin” systems virtually obsolete in many cases, especially when used with the Reinhardt PG1 pistol-grip / boom-pole mount.
