Soft-Zep

The Reinhardt Soft-Zep is nothing short of a revolution in simplicity, design and performance. The Soft-Zep has vastly improved wind noise reduction in comparison with standard basket windshields systems .

Especially developed so that the microphone can be mounted easily and swiftly with no tricky bayonet or screw fittings to wrestle with, the microphone is simply inserted into the rear of the Soft-Zep just like an ordinary foam windshield.

Weight has been a key factor in the design of the Soft-Zep, weighing in an astoundingly light 385gms or 13.58oz

The hand grip has benefited from the experience that Reinhardt has gathered from the now famous PG2 pistol grip. Made from high quality Kraton rubber with extra soft gel inserts with a slip-free surface for a secure and comfortable grip.

The 3/8 whitworth boom-pole mount is offset and can be swivelled and then locked in position for maximum comfort and convenience.



The XLR connectors are top quality Neutrik connectors and the cable is to the same high standard.

A soft fur cover is available and when complete with the optional Reinhardt audio kitBag and boom pole, the sound operator is ready for action at a moments notice.
