Post by: Chuck on November 14, 2005, 01:10:33 PM
WT1200 or WT1300 for AKG 480's indoors?

(3/4) inch = 19.05 millimeters so I'd go w/ the 1200's

AKG 480s are 19mm mics

I thought the same, but the mic chart suggests using the 1300's...
The 1300's look a bit tight for 19mm mics.

i got some 1300's to use mainly for smoke screens indors for my 460 and i like them. they were tight but all i had to do was stretch them very slightly and they work good. go with 1300's.

thanks for the bodies fozzy!!!

Yeah, thanks.
I just ordered the 1300's. I figured that tight is better than loose.
They are actually a bit smaller overall than the 1200's too. I just like want them as smoke screens as you say.
I used to use the screens that came with my SP C-4's which I suspect are the 1200's. They were a bit loose.
I sold the C-4's and haven't had anything good to use since then.

the 1300's are smaller and thinner than the stock akg screens. if that gives you any idea about them
