Title: AKG 414 windscreens
Post by: frogger on April 07, 2010, 08:15:20 PM

So festival season is coming and I need some wind screens for my 414B-XLS.  There's this thread, http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=79687.msg1060537#msg1060537 where the neuman ws87 or ws89 are recommended but they seem like they're pretty thin.  Anybody have a suggestion for a windtech screen or something else?  TIA

The blue screens that ship with the mics are thin.  The Neumann screens are really thick.  They are about as big around as the H85 mount.

I'm looking at the windtech ct80b, has anybody tried them on the 414's?
