Shure big ass wind screens

(1/8) > >>

ts:
So I went to add these to my "make an offer yard sale" and when I opened the box they're in they were totally disintegrated. Any one ever have this happen? Stored in a box in a closet. Probably 20 years old.  :shrug:

vanark:
I've definitely heard this happens. I check mine out about once a year to make sure they aren't shedding onto/into my mics when I use them.

opsopcopolis:
Yep, that’ll happen….

hipporu:
This is the result of intentional or unintentional violation of manufacturing technology.
I've had RFT foam for forty years and it's as good as new.
At that time, Germany's chemical industry was the most advanced.
What is produced today I change in three years usually.

goodcooker:

Same thing with a pair of DPA screens last year. They were maybe 6-7 years old. Got them out to use them and got black particles all over my desk.

I'll be more diligent about replacing screens every few years going forward.
