Title: Windscreen for Nevaton MCE-400's
Post by: yates7592 on June 14, 2012, 01:32:44 PM

My pair of Nevaton MCE-400's were bought second hand in the Yard Sale and the windscreens were not included. I have the large gold colour 'pop filters', are they for indoor use only? Does anybody have any recommendation as to how I might D-I-Y a windscreen for these mics or know where I could get some at short notice (outdoor festival on 24th June).

Thanks a lot. So the 3/16 screen fits the MCE400 which is wider than 3/15 inch (0.31 inch I believe). So I need to order a windscreen that is narrower than the mic to achieve a tight fit?

Yep, the windscreen will stretch over the entire mic body nicely. I then fasten the mic to whatever with a little gaffers tape on the wire.
