Title: wind screen for AKG-CK8 ?
Post by: T140V on September 05, 2010, 10:57:32 PM

So what would be the recommended wind screen for the ck8 shotgun cap? Also...I sourced one of my ck8's off Ebay and it is missing the end cap....pretty dissapointing as the seller failed to mention this and pix did not show it or I would've passed on it...will it function normally ?

they recommend the SG-2 which will be a couple inches too long, but will still work fine
as far as the missing end cap, it doesn't effect the function of the capsule
