Rycote PCS-Boom Connector

PCS-Boom Connector

The Professional Connection System (‘PCS’) is the all-new quick attach/quick release connection system from Rycote. The first Rycote PCS product is the new PCS-Boom Connector, which has been designed for professional boom pole use.

Key Features:

• Designed for professional boom pole use, with any 3/8” threaded boom pole
• Intuitive and incredibly easy attachment and release mechanism – for fast and simple swapping of mics (in shock mounts/windshields)
• Single handed, positive locking operation – just press in and ‘click’ to connect
• Rock solid and noise free in operation – for audio critical boom pole use

Solid, fast & reliable

The PCS-Boom Connector is an incredibly convenient and efficient way to simplify and speed-up the fitting and removal of any accessory to a 3/8″ male threaded boom pole. And, importantly, it provides a completely secure and silent connection during use.

Additional Features:

• Secure locking with 100 Newton maximum load (equivalent to 10kg/22lbs in a fixed position)
• Made out of robust, high quality materials in neutral colours (black and grey), with non-reflective finish
• Locks to boom pole without damaging the boom pole thread

Simply 'click' – and boom

The PCS ‘tip’ locks into any 3/8″ female threaded windshield kit/shock-mount – made by Rycote or other manufacturers – and stays fitted. The Connector attaches securely to the boom pole. Connection/release is then a quick and easy ‘click’ in/pull-out operation! This allows for super-fast swapping of your different mics (and windshield kits) on and off… perfect for all manner of production sound recording applications. The PCS-Boom Connector is also very lightweight, coming in at only 53g (Connector and Tip combined).

Rock solid, noise-free connection

Crucially for professional audio use, the PCS-Boom Connector is designed to remain completely secure and noise-free during use... essential for anything going on the end of a boom pole. The thread connection is a high-grade aluminium, with a twin locking screw arrangement. The connection grips the boom pole thread, without damaging it – and makes for a reassuringly solid connection.

Easy connection & release mechanism

With its easy one handed ‘click-in’ attachment and pull collar release mechanism, the PCS-Boom Connector provides incredibly fast and easy operation. The positive ‘click’ on being pressed in and fitted gives you the confidence that it is connected and secure. Releasing is a simple matter of pulling down the outer collar on the PCS-Boom Connector – completely intuitive.

Ingenious design – rigorously tested

The PCS-Boom Connector has been designed to provide a more convenient way to attach and remove kit on and off your boom pole – whilst also providing a sturdy and quiet connection in use. They’ve rigorously tested the PCS-Boom Connector in development – exposing it to all sorts of extreme conditions and subjecting it to thousands of operational ‘cycles’ – all to help ensure long and reliable service.
