Title: Busman BSC1's caps question
Post by: kenirob on December 05, 2010, 08:12:13 PM: Hi everybody, I got a set of Busmans BSC1's. I had to sent one set of cap's back to Busman as one of the cap's didn't work. When Chris emailed me he sent that the cap's were the Subcard's. Which confused me because I had sent him the cap's with the heart "cardiod'' engraving. He also said that the cap's with the slanted opens are the cardiod cap's. So I'm a little confused, my first set of "real'' mic's so forgive my ignorance. Could somebody match these cap's with a K1 K2 K3 K4? Thanks again you guys are awesome!!(http://)

though that only works on the newer sets. if you own some of the older production runs they don't have grills.
But if you have the grills that is great way to remember.
