Product Information

Full details

This guide is for users of Rycote Cyclone windshield kits who want to integrate the Professional Connection System (PCS-Boom connector). The key benefit is a lighter, simpler, and more secure connection that allows for easy XLR cable adjustment. A caveat is that the PCS-Boom connector itself is not supplied with this adaptor. This adaptor replaces your existing boom adaptor, offering a built-in, fixed PCS tip and a 360° adjustable XLR holder for improved cable management.

FAQs

Does this adaptor come with the PCS-Boom connector?

No, the PCS-Boom connector is not supplied with the Rycote Cyclone Adaptor for PCS-Boom Connector. It must be purchased separately.

What Rycote windshield kits is this adaptor compatible with?

This adaptor is designed to integrate with Rycote Cyclone and Rycote Stereo Cyclone windshield kits.

How does the 360° XLR holder work?

The XLR holder allows you to rotate the point where the XLR cable connects to the PCS-Boom connector a full 360 degrees, giving you complete freedom to position the cable.

Can I use this adaptor with other brands of windshields?

This adaptor is specifically designed for Rycote Cyclone and Stereo Cyclone kits and may not be compatible with windshields from other manufacturers.

Is the PCS tip replaceable?

No, the PCS tip is built-in and fixed to the adaptor to ensure a secure and permanent connection point for the PCS-Boom connector.

What is the primary advantage of the fixed PCS tip?

The primary advantage is security; a fixed tip cannot slip or loosen, providing a more reliable connection compared to detachable or screw-on types.

Troubleshooting

PCS tip connection feels loose

Ensure the PCS-Boom connector is fully seated onto the fixed PCS tip of the adaptor. Check for any debris on either surface.

XLR cable holder is stiff or difficult to rotate

Gently check for any obstructions. Ensure no cables are jammed in the rotation mechanism. Avoid forcing the rotation.

Adaptor does not fit securely onto the windshield kit

Verify that you are using the correct Rycote Cyclone or Stereo Cyclone windshield kit. Ensure the mounting point on your kit is not damaged and that you are following the correct installation procedure.
