For my MBHO Actives/KwonBars I use the DPA screens with a dead rat over the DPA Screens. So far, they have worked out tremendously. I didnt like using the big-ass shures on my actives simply because bending the shure screens around the KwonBar seemed to really widen the big-ass shures hole where the mics go. I normally wouldnt care, but I also use the big-ass shures with my 480's and I didnt want the shures hole to stay widened for when I use them on my 480's.
So my 480's use the big-ass shures permanently and my MBHO's use the DPA Screens+Dead Rats permanently. The DPA Screens+Dead Rats dont have to 'bend' around the KwonBar, so the DPA Screens hole cant possibly be widened. In fact, the DPA Screens+Dead Rats NEVER come off of my MBHO Actives/KwonBar for protection when in transport as well. Not to mention the protection they have when using them indoors in smoky environments. Hell, my setup is moron proof too. I leave the DPA Screens+Dead Rats kept on my MBHO Capsules/Actives at ALL times. And the hyper caps are ALWAYS kept on the DINa KwonBar. And the KwonBar is ALWAYS kept on my Shure a53m Shockmount. And the screw for the Windtech clamp is ALWAYS kept in the screw slot of the Shure A53M shock so I can just whip out the MBHO Actives setup and toss that sucka in my Windtech clamp and Im ready to roll in under 2 minutes

Also, my Active cables are ALWAYS attached onto the capsules/KwonBar setup and the Active cables are ALWAYS attached to my MBHO Bodies on the other end. And the Interconnects are ALWAYS attached to the MBHO Bodies on one end and the 722 on the other end so I can roll at a SECONDS notice!!! You get the idea I take it that I leave ALL of my MBHO Actives setup together and ready to roll at a seconds notice. VERY easy and foolproof that way. Not to mention the protection of that setup when in transport

Damn, I LOVE my MBHO Actives setup

I know that the big-ass shures have memory foam and would come back to shape/life even tho I had to 'bend' them around the KwonBar, but I still didnt want to take that risk. Im sure after repeatedly using the shures on the Kwon/Active Bars that the shures hole could possibly be permanently widened, thus making them not fit as securely on my 480's!
Anyway, I dont see why both of my windscreen methods wouldnt also work on the Schoeps capsules/Actives as well even tho the Schoeps are 1mm smaller than the AKG's/MBHO's!!! I would think that the better method would be the DPA Screens+Dead Rats for use on Active setups with Kwon/Active bars since they would be smaller than the Big-Ass Shure screens not to mention that you dont have to 'bend' the shure screens around the Kwon/Active bars leaving them possibly permanently widened at the hole end of the shures so they wouldnt fit as snugly on other mics if you had more than one pair of mics. It took my shure screens a few days at least to come back to life and the hole in them to go back to normal after I used them on my KwonBar!
