Nicolas Kyvernitis Electronics Enterprises, distributors in the UAE for professional audio, video and communication equipment have recently been appointed as distributors for Rycote in the Middle East.

The Rycote name is synonymous with microphone windshields the world over, and the company's products, which now include windshield and microphone suspension systems, are used daily by news, TV, film and recording industry professionals from Hollywood to Harare. Despite this worldwide success, Rycote remains a family-led company, staffed by a dedicated team of a couple of dozen people. Its products are still entirely designed, made and hand-assembled at its headquarters in a quiet corner of Gloucestershire in the UK, making it that rarest of entities in 21st-century Britain - an on-going manufacturing success story.

“Rycote is the industry standard for news, TV, film and recording industry professionals when it comes to microphone windshields and microphone suspension systems,” commented Chicco Hiranandani, Business Development Manager at NMK. He added, “with brands like Shure and Sound Devices that cater to the same market, the Rycote range of products now allow us to provide a complete solution to the client base. We look forward to growing our business in the broadcast and production segment.”
