they won't. just push them all the way down until they won't go any further, essentially covering the entire cap/collette

Post by: F.O.Bean on July 26, 2008, 08:58:43 PM: They work extremely well w/ the kwon bars and the mbho's :) They dont budge a 1/4" in some pretty big gusts and stay on for 16 hrs at festivals :)

Cant beat the big-ass shures IMO :)

I'm surprised shure has not renamed them yet. ;D

It's an a51 ws if I'm not mistaken

Post by: boojum on August 17, 2008, 12:57:37 AM: I just ran the A81WS on some Schoeps CMC64's this afternoon for a windy day on the water. Now wind sound; good high end. The A81WS is well-made and works. If you even think that wind will be a problem, these pups are a good idea.

Cheers

Post by: ts on August 19, 2008, 10:24:44 AM: I always prefered the Shures over the stock screen/dead rat combo. Can anyone comment further on this? Is the stock/dead rat combo overkill? I think the Shures are much less of a high end killer.
