Windscreens and Cables for akg 460’s

[TaperMD]

I am excited to start taping again after not taping for almost 20 years.

I am looking for indoor and outdoor windscreens for 460s and a pair of cables.

Opening to any and all suggestions. I appreciate the help!

For outdoors the Movo WST50 cannot be beat for the price. Kinda bulky and weird at first but they work fantastic.

They were hard to find for a while but now Movo sells direct with free US shipping - https://www.movophoto.com/products/wst-premium-ballistic-nylon-windscreen?variant=31725821329452&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=&utm_term=&gclid=CjwKCAjwkLCkBhA9EiwAka9QRoEcAeKfvunsU9ytMgNMJMErmjk7aTdx9oTYJheKrJtOzmro2tcIwRoCTq0QAvD_BwE

I have been using these indoors on AKG CK3X series. They fit snug and will not fall of, I believe your mics are the same O.D. I have had others that fall off and get lost

B&H has them and ships quickly https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/162950-REG/AKG_2496_Z_00010_W90_Windscreen.html

Shure A81Ws

I use these for both my AKG actives and 460 bodies with both the older and  ULS series capsules
other than the movo's, which I have not used but get great reviews, I can attest to these bad boys.

Pretty much anything will work indoors unless you have a big ass fan putting out a lot of air nearby. I would not recommend the DPA UA0896 windscreens though - mine started to fall apart within two years of purchase.

Here's the windtech screens: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/298936-REG/WindTech_1212_Windtech_1200_Series.html

This should fit as well for even cheaper. (I have a dead cat from this brand on my camera mic and it works well so quality seems to be there): https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/850366-REG/auray_whf_2040_hh_foam_20mm_1_dia_40mm_1_6.html

For outdoors I have used the big Shures and Movo and both work fine. If it's really windy you will need dead cats.

Seconded. I have a pair of the ballistic and a pair of the furry Movo windscreens. The ballistic are my go-to set for windy conditions and have always been great at handling the wind noise. The furry ones are ok for light wind, but I don't trust them as much as the ballistic.
