I'm a proud new owner of some 460s- but I need to get some shock mounts (I'm leaning towards Busman's) and windscreens (thinny minis and high wind advisory ones). What do ya'll run for these accessories? Thanks!

I bought my wind screens at Sam Ash, don't remember the model, but they were house branded and not too expensive. I use Shure A53M donuts for shocks. They are a little tight, but I run some talc inside them every couple of months and that keeps them where the bodies can slid in and out fairly easily. I like that they don't have the spider cage design that is harder to pack in the bag.

Thanks- I like that low-profile shockmount setup. I'll prob end up doing something very similar w/ my vert bar.

UPDATE:  AKG USA sent me 3 replacement screws for the the ck3 capsule for no charge and they fit perfectly, so my problem has been solved!

I know this is a a bump from forever ago, but thinking someone in this thread could help me.

Does anyone happen to know the size of the screws used in the ck1/ck3 capsules?  I'm referring to the 3 set screws that hold the grille to the capsule

The screw in the picture here:

Does anyone happen to know if the screws at the bottom of the ck8's are somehow used to secure the A60 reducer rings to the cap ?

We have a set of ck8>a60s that until recently we have never even tried to remove. We attempted to unscrew them the other day but without much luck and of course didn't want to force anything etc.

I have a ck22 and we would like to use it with the reducer ring on either the 460 bodies or the active setup

Wrap a cotton cloth around the A60 and gently, with a pair of small pliers, twist them apart.  I had the same problem once with ck1's and A60's.

BTW this worked perfectly. One came off without any real effort. The other took a little more convincing.

Thanks for the tip

Yeah Dan, we are good to go now and have successfully tested the cap and reducer ring with the 460 body. Thanks again!

Anyone out there looking to sell another ck22?   8) We got one!
