The Softie-Lite is a slip-on windshield designed to perfectly complement the INV-Lite shock-mount, allowing for even faster/deeper boom swings indoors. Softie-Lite provides more plosive and wind protection than a standard foam.
Features
- Designed specifically for the INV-Lite shock-mount.
- For use with shorter, lighter shotgun mics for interior booming.
- Provides more protection against plosives and wind-noise than a foam windshield.
- Allows for outdoor use – in light winds.
- Available in two versions; for 19mm and 21mm microphones respectively.
- Lightweight & compact – just 27g and only 170cm long*.
You can buy the Softie-Lite on its own, or as a ‘Kit’, complete with the INV-Lite shock-mount

Softie-Lite Mic Compatibility
Two versions of the Softie-Lite are available; a 19mm and a 21mm variant. These are easily differentiated by the different colour TPE ‘collar’ which ensures a tight grip on the mic; blue for the 19mm / green for the 21mm.
