I just became aware that Schoeps has revised its position on using these capsules with the B5D windscreen.
The new description reads "Although it has not been designed for that purpose, it is possible to use it on the MK 4V, MK 41V or MK 4VXS microphone capsules and the corresponding CCM Compact Condenser Microphones. The microphone’s slight inherent high-frequency emphasis is then compensated for."
http://www.schoeps.de/en/products/b5dThe old description (now gone from Schoeps website) read "The B 5 D cannot be used with side-address transducers such as MK 4 V, MK 41 V, MK 6, or MK 8 capsules, or with CCM 4 V, or CCM 41 V, or CCM 8."
http://www.posthorn.com/S_pops.html#b5dSo what gives? Did Schoeps change the design of something or are they just saying that the B5D will turn the 4V and 41V into a sideways 4 and 41 (no high freq bump)?
I know that people use to modify the B5D by cutting out a bar on the plastic surrounding the capsule to use these with the 4Vs. I always assumed the old warning was because the bar would block the capsule.
DSatz any comments would be welcome...
