Title: Windscreens for 4V's - Schoeps B-5D or B-5
Post by: mkinder on May 29, 2010, 09:45:14 AM

Hey,

Has anyone run the Schoeps B-5D windscreens with teh 4V's??  I know Schoeps says that the hollow Schoeps B-5D  is not designed for any lateral pickup, but
wanted to get some of your opinions.

I read this post http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=133351.0 (http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=133351.0), but really wanted to know if anyone has ever really tried the B5D with the 4V?

Thanks,

Matt

Two ways to find out: ask Jerry at Posthorn or nose around the Schoeps site to see what they use for a wondscreen for this mic.

Posthorn page clearly says no B5D for any side address, but i think that is because of the housing...   I am gonna try it with a bit of a mod...

I will report back :)
