(* Our recommendation for the Sennheiser
MKH8040/8050 is the Cyclone Small (XLR) model,
based on the use of the Sennheiser MZX (XLR
module) with these microphones. If you wish to
use either of these mics without the MZX module
attached, you can do so using the Cyclone Small
(MZL).
Thank you for choosing the
Cyclone Windshield! The
following Quick Start Guide
provides you with the basics

leading Rycote Lyre® microphone suspension
and exclusive Floating Basket Suspension
(Pat. Pending) with built-in Lyre technology,
