Protects the sound:

The RAINMAN softens the impact of rain drops falling onto the boom microphone.

Protects the microphone:

The RAINMAN channels rain away from the microphone, along the outside of the "zeppelin" style windscreen.

How does it sound?

Like it's not even there. The RAINMAN is more acoustically transparent than traditional "furry" windshield covers

Fitted for Rycote Kit 2 and microphones 4.7 to 6.3 in. long.
