Topic: Windscreens for Core Sound Cardioid

[Ekib]

Hi I have been looking everywhere on this forum to find an answer to this.

I am an user of Core-Sound's stealthy Cardioid mic's.Since a lot of concerts these days have more and more airconditioning inside I want to use windscreens.Now where can I buy cheap windscreens?I have friends who are taping festivals and usually after a long festival day one pair is lost,damaged etc....now the question is where can I find reasonable priced windscreens that fit the CSC mic's...Core-Sound charges $ 10 for the large windscreens,$ 5 for the small ones and $ 8 for shipping.That is $ 23 for a small and a large pair.I may be my opinion but I think that is awfully expensive.Especially since they only last so long.

What is a good solution to that???

There must be a cheaper source that fit a lot of other stealth mic's also.

Also do other people use windscreens inside for Airco protection?It never bothered my recordings but lately one recording was really ruined by the noise of the wind of the airco(and funny enough during the concert I didn't really notice it).

Has anyone ever tried some cotton balls over  mini mics?  use some scotch tape to attach. Now that would be cheap! maybe a little muffled though?

no idea, but it certainly would be a cheap experiment!
