I picked up a pair of the microsuiters this week, looks close. Maybe this weekend I will get around to seeing how they match up.

Does that mean its a permanent installation or can you take them out with the same amount of patience?

They come on and off the glasses fairly easily,it just feeding them through the initail croakies is a bit tedious.

I don't know if the microsuiters are the same construction as the regular suiters.

The regular suiters are actually 2 cotton tubes - one inside the other. In the pdf you can find at Sound Pro's site, they recommend "peeling back" the outer tube all the way to the very end.

Then, get your mics and place them at the end near the rubber thingie that holds the croakies on your glasses. Fold the outer tube back down over the mic and continue, I guess you can call it reverse peeling until the outer tube is back in its regular position.

Might be a little easier than snaking the mics all the way up the tube.

I have the regular suiters and AT933's. They slide through so easily, I don't do the peeling routine. Once I have the mics positioned correctly in the tubes, I take a small piece of electrical tape and wrap it around mic wires and the end of the croakies that you cut off so it holds them in place. Since my AT933's and wires are white, this also helps to cover up the color.

At any rate, in answer to another post, with this combination, it's no problem to remove the mics when needed and then redo the croakie routine. The ends of the croakies that get cut off do begin to fray after awhile though.

Marking thread...might need to try this with mine. The "Croakies" mine have are getting pretty beat up.

Not sure of the B3 specs compared to the CAFS, but this solution I came up with is great.
