soundpod Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I picked this up recently from a colleague who has retired from the business. It works surprisingly well, there are 3 layers that can be used as required. its a metal frame with a 'stocking' type material covering. I believe it is called a Janisse (say it with a french accent) But I am wondering if I have that wrong. Can Anyone confirm? French made, very simple, light and effective.

daniel Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Very cool. Proto 'S' series/Supershield. I like the boxes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Immoral Mr Teas Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I like the 'layer' approach as well and occasionally have an extra layer (either just a foam cap or better hollow foam wrapped in nylon) even within a rycote ... more for occasions where either I feel a stereo set or a side mic is too near the edge. I've long thought (but not yet constructed) of one day constructing some kind of giant wind tent for bigger surround arrays (both to increase wind attenuation and to balance it). These Janisses are quite lovely looking though, and remind me of both Schoeps and Bruel & Kjaer cage shields. Is there any chance you could post a pic from the end to let us see both how the shield attaches to the cradle and how two or three layers can be fit ( ie just one side fitted so we can see down the barrel so to speak) ?

Wandering Ear Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 They look like they are in good condition. Any idea of how old they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundpod Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 They will be well looked after, tucked up in their cases. I'm not sure how old they are. The guy I got them off bought them over from europe, and he said thats what they used before Rycote wind protection became available. Anyone know when did Rycote started?
