Topic: AKG C414B-XLS windscreens

Cool.


I didn't intend to imply that the attenuation was a bad thing.  One thing I miss about running the DPAs was that flat response.  The neumann HF bup is bugging me a little and I was thinking the AKG bump might be the same way but resolved usinng the wind screens.

So it appears the WS 87 and WS89 both fith the 414.  Which is the better fit?  The 89 was tight, is the 87 loose at all?

read the post past the first paragraph and bingo:

And...the WS89 fit!

I actually have the Brian's old 414's with the WS89's.

From your measurements, the perimeter of the mic body would be 170mm (48 + 37 + 48 + 37).
The interior circumference of the WS89 would be ~144mm (C=D*pi), or 144=46*3.14.
The interior circumference of the WS87 would be ~176mm (C=D*pi), or 176=56*3.14.

The WS87 seems to be the closer match, but it could also be too loose, as you mentioned, which would be worse than too snug. Maybe someone has a pair of WS87 they would let you borrow?

right back at you
