Smallfry partnered with Rycote to help them maintain an innovation pipeline that ensures that each new product released supports and contributes towards their market leading position and builds on their global brand reputation. The PCS - Professional Connection System is the latest product of this ongoing relationship.
Sound engineers need to quickly select the right microphone and boom pole for the job and then get up and running to capture the action. The Rycote PCS system is aimed at making the set-up and use of microphones faster and more user friendly with a simple click-on assembly that you can operate with one hand.
Rycote products are used all around the world from movie sets to arctic expeditions, deserts, rain-forests or out at sea. The PCS needed to perform in all of these situations, Smallfry worked closely with Rycote to rigorously test the device before bringing it to market.
The Rycote PCS is designed using high quality machined components using anodized aircraft grade aluminium and stainless steel, along with precision mouldings. A covert aesthetic is designed to avoid any distraction or reflections if the PCS comes into shot.
Key to the function of the PCS is that the connection needs to be extremely secure, any movement could effect sound quality. The unique design uses a powerful spring to pull the tip securely down into the socket, using a wedge shape ensures there cannot be any rattle.
