Windscreens for Schoeps CCM4's
« on: August 01, 2007, 12:50:21 PM »
i've been using a pair of old AKG screens and they just aren't cutting it outdoors. i made a pair of dead rats for them and it better but still getting wind noise.
so CCM4's users what do you use?
thanks

I've found that the schoeps w5d isn't enough protection for moderate winds outdoors (8-10mph). The DPA uA0896 and the Shure A81WS are probably the two most popular screens for outdoor use. DPA's are cheaper, but reportedly provide less protection than the shures. I'm not sure how either would work with the ccm series mics because of the mics size.

Shawn are you sure you are referring to the w5d($89) and not the w5($28)? i've taped in at least 20mph gusts with no wind noise whatsoever. YMMV

I believe you are thinking of the Schoeps B5D.


The W5D's can take 20 mile per hour winds.


I have taped with 20 mile per hour winds, with great results. They sren't cheap, though.

I'm not sure how either [DPA UA0896 and Shure A81WS] would work with the ccm series mics because of the mics size.

I've used both with my MKx + KC5 actives, so they probably fit fine.

And if you really want to protect yourself from wind, consider a Rycote Baby Ball Gag ($$$).
